Next England Under-21 manager: Frank Lampard, Justin Cochrane and Lee Carsley lead odds

Ex-Chelsea stars and Premier League players in frame to replace Aidy Boothroyd

The departure of Aidy Boothroyd as England Under-21 manager last month has led to much speculation as to who will take over the key role in the national setup.

Justin Cochrane was the early favourite for the job, but over the last week there has been some movement on the odds.

England legends Frank Lampard, Nicky Butt and John Terry have all been linked with the job, as well as a number of coaches already involved in the Three Lions’ youth setup.

As the countdown to the senior side’s first match at the Euros continues, the search for the U21 boss may not be right at the top of the priority list, but given the disappointing exit from Euro 2021 for the youngsters, which cost Boothroyd his job, it is important that they get the right man.

Here’s a rundown of the latest odds according to BetVictor.
