Chelsea's Holland named England assistant

The 46-year-old will remain with Chelsea alongside his international duties until the end of the season, when he will become full-time with England.

Steve Holland worked with Gareth Southgate when he was in charge of the country's Under-21 team from August 2013 and has been working with the senior side since the manager's promotion.

England has appointed Chelsea number two Steve Holland as assistant manager to Gareth Southgate.

The 46-year-old will remain with Chelsea alongside his international duties until the end of the season, when he will become full-time with England.

Holland worked with Southgate when he was in charge of the country's Under-21 team from August 2013 and has been working with the senior side since the manager's promotion.

Southgate told the Football Association's official website: "I am delighted to have Steve as my assistant manager.

"We have worked very closely for three years and I have upmost respect for the way that he works, his professionalism and the detail of his preparation.

"Our aim at the start was to encourage a young England team to play in a certain style and to develop a winning mentality; I think we certainly got a long way down the road to doing that with the Under-21s.

"The challenge with the seniors is a greater one but Steve's experience of working with elite players and coaches at Chelsea means he knows what a world-class team needs to look like."
