Who is Lee Carsley’s wife Louisa?

Lee Carsley is married to Louisa, although when the couple tied the knot hasn’t been reported.

They live in Kenilworth, Warwickshire with their three children.

Lee prefers to keep his family’s personal information out of the public domain.

Who is Lee Carsley?

During his playing career, Lee made his name as a talented midfielder during a six-season spell with Everton.

He also played for Derby, Blackburn, Coventry and Birmingham.

On the international stage, Lee won 40 caps for the Republic of Ireland before retiring in 2011.

He joined the England youth setup as a specialist coach in 2015, before being appointed England U20 head coach in 2020.

Lee was later promoted to England U21 in 2021 and lead them to victory in the European Championship in 2023, their first title in the competition since 1984.

The former Under-21s boss has been revealed as the replacement for Gareth Southgate.

He will be in charge of England‘s matches against the Republic of Ireland on September 7, and Finland at Wembley three days later.

Ex-England left-back Ashley Cole will be part of his coaching staff.

A statement from the FA confirmed the news.

It read: “Lee Carsley has been appointed interim head coach of England senior men ahead of the start of the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League campaign.

“Carsley will step up from his role in charge of the Men’s U21s, initially for September’s fixtures away to Republic of Ireland and at home to Finland.

“But with a view to remaining in the position throughout autumn while the FA’s recruitment process for a new permanent head coach continues.”

Carsley said: “It’s an honour to step up and lead this England squad on an interim basis.

“As I am very familiar with the players and the cycle of international football, it makes sense for me to guide the team while the FA continues the process to recruit a new manager.

“My main priority is to ensure continuity and our goal is to secure promotion in the UEFA Nations League.”

Does Lee Carsley have any children?

According to reports Lee and Louisa have three children together.

Their eldest child is a boy named Callum.

The couple’s second son, Connor, lives with Down’s Syndrome.

In 2007, Lee told the Independent: “Until we had Connor we basically lived up in a bubble where everything was rosy.

“We get paid a lot of money, you don’t worry about bills, you are not worried about anything, and then all of a sudden you have something that totally rocks you and it’s, ‘Bloody hell’.

“Suddenly you realise that no one’s untouchable, it could happen to anyone, and you become a lot more aware of other people’s problems and what really goes on.

“We’ve been sat in waiting rooms with people from all walks of life. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, everyone is sat there hoping for the same thing and it does bring you back down to earth.

“Now my lifestyle and my attitude is a lot different to some other players, but I would never knock them for that because they haven’t been through or experienced what I have.

“I know I didn’t think about these problems before Connor arrived, but then why would I have done? That’s why, if I’m fundraising, I’ll never push it with the lads here and I’ll never go around preaching that this is what they should all be doing in their spare time.”

Their third child is a daughter named Lois.
