Lee Carsley began life as interim England manager on Saturday but things got off to an awkward start.
The ex-midfielder led his new charges into a Nations League showdown against the Republic of Ireland, the country he represented as a player.
Clearly Carsley’s muscle memory of that time is still strong as he accidentally took up position in the home dugout before kick-off at the Aviva Stadium.
Carsley’s faux-pas was soon overtaken by the Three Lions claiming a 2-0 win in Dublin courtesy of former Irish youth internationals Declan Rice and Jack Grealish.
It just goes to show that it can happen to the best of us!
