England interim manager Lee Carsley experienced an awkward moment ahead of his debut match in charge.
As he prepared for the Nations League opener at the Aviva Stadium, the 50-year-old mistakenly sat in the home team’s dugout.
After being informed of his error, Carsley initially laughed it off with a smirk but quickly composed himself and moved to the correct dugout.
Despite the brief moment of embarrassment, he handled the situation well before kick-off. Watch below:
