LEE CARSLEY will go from coaching millionaire superstars to teaching academy kids this week.
England's interim head coach says he has no intention of giving up his "other" job, working with 16 to 21-year-olds at the Strachan Football Foundation academy, which he does every Friday at Warwick University.
