England youth team coaches appointed for the 2022-23 season

Prior to the start of the new 2022–23 season, the coaching structure for England’s men’s development teams has been established.

During the new season, our Young Lions will compete at every level from MU15 to MU21*, whether it be in UEFA European Championship competitions, a FIFA U20 World Cup, or international tournaments and matches for the MU18s and MU20s.

Starting with our MU21s, who are coached by Lee Carsley and his team, the focus is on getting ready for the UEFA U21 EURO Finals that will be held in Georgia and Romania next summer. They begin their preparation in September with matches against Italy and Germany.

After qualifying for the competition thanks to their success in the UEFA U19 EURO Finals in Slovakia last season, our MU20s will travel to Indonesia for the FIFA U20 World Cup next summer under the direction of head coach Ian Foster.

Following their selections as England national coaches in May, Simon Rusk and Neil Ryan are now both head coaches.

The new group of MU19s, led by former Brighton & Hove Albion coach Rusk, will begin our defense of the U19 EURO title in September with matches against Montenegro, Georgia, and Denmark in the first qualifying round. Andy Edwards will assist Rusk this season.

With Ryan Garry, the head coach from last season, moving over to coach the MU17s as they compete for a spot at the UEFA U17 EURO in Hungary and also target qualification for the 2023 FIFA U17 World Cup in Peru, the new group of MU18s will be led by ex-Manchester United academy coach Ryan into the 2022–23 season.

In October, they will face Israel, Georgia, and Lithuania in the opening round of qualifying.

Tom Curtis, the MU17s head coach from the previous campaign, has been named our youth development phase lead. Greg Lincoln, the MU16s’ head coach, and Will Antwi, the MU15s’ head coach, have also been named for the 2022–23 season.

Gifton Noel-Williams, Jamal Campbell-Ryce, and Quinton Fortune will also provide coaching assistance to the development teams after being appointed to the FA and PFA’s joint flagship England Elite Coach Programme (EECP).

The FA and the PFA established the EECP in 2017 to give coaches from historically underrepresented groups the chance to work with the English national teams and gain experience abroad at the highest levels of English football. The program seeks to create a future coaching talent pipeline that is larger and more diverse.

This will be the third intake of coaches for the EECP, and in recent years, we’ve observed coaches like Chris Powell, Paul Nevin, Michael Johnson, Jason Euell, and Omer Riza working with England teams on the EECP and gaining valuable experience in the field of international coaching.

20221508 952 neil ryan — Following his appointment in May, new national coach Neil Ryan will lead the England MU18s in 2022–23.

Our head coach, Tim Dittmer, said it was exciting and satisfying to confirm our staffing for the 2022–23 campaign.

“After overcoming the many obstacles COVID put in our way over the previous few seasons, we are starting the upcoming season as a relatively inexperienced group of national coaches.

“It’s crucial that we determine the requirements of our players and programs, and that we then put our staff in the best positions to support the various journeys.

We have notable FIFA and UEFA tournaments at the MU17, MU19, and MU20 age groups this upcoming season. Our athletes have the chance to compete in international tournaments against the best athletes from other nations. ” Our MU15, MU16, and MU18 age groups thoughtfully give players the chance to showcase their best selves in international competitions and matches both in England and throughout Europe.As usual, I’d like to take this chance to recognize the excellent work being done by all of the academies and thank them for their cooperation and support, which maximizes all of our interactions with the players.
