The two near neighbours meet in League B Group 2, where Finland and Greece are also vying for promotion to the top tier of the continental tournament.

Unable to get the senior men to follow in the footsteps of the 2022 women’s luminaries and the 2023 Under-21s heroes, Gareth Southgate’s unforgettable England reign came to its natural end after another excruciating silver-medal placement at Euro 2024.

Many were surprised at England reaching the showpiece match in the first place, having witnessed Southgate’s lethargic and lackadasical side flatter to decieve throughout the competition, but another shot at international supremacy eventually went begging at the hands of the Irrepressible Spain.

Handing the reins over to a temporary or permanent successor following almost eight years at the FA helm, Southgate kept the manager’s seat warm for Carsley, who has been appointed on an initial interim basis as the governing body scope out potential long-term options, Pep Guardiola’s name has been mentioned a few times.

Stroming back into the first tier of the Nations League – which England were embarrassingly relegated from in 2022-23 – would be the perfect start to such a mission, as the Three Lions also prepare to welcome Finland to Wembley three days after Saturday’s Dublin contest.

Carsley’s imminent inauguration has certainly overshadowed a second managerial baptism taking place at the Aviva Stadium, Ireland have turned to former Iceland and Jamaica manager Hallgrimsson to restore a sense of national pride.

Hallgrimsson takes the reins as a permanent successor to Stephen Kenny, who failed miserably in his efforts to end Ireland’s post-Euro 2016 major tournament exile, winning just 11 of his 40 matches while in charge of the Boys in Green.

Following John O’Shea’s mixed interim spell earlier in the year, where Ireland beat Hungary and impressively drew with Belgium while losing to Switzerland and Portugal, Hallgrimsson was sworn in after his brief spell at the Jamaica helm, where he oversaw the Reggae Boyz’s underwhelming Copa America campaign.

Part of Lars Lagerback’s Iceland coaching team at Euro 2016, where the Nordic nation inflicted one of England’s most humiliating defeats ever upon them, Hallgrimsson takes over an Ireland side that boast just two winns from their last 10 matches, while failing to score in three of their last four.

Hallgrimsson will at least enjoy a Dublin double-header for his Ireland baptism – Greece arrive at the Aviva Stadium on September 10 – but the Boys in Green have not prevailed over England since the 1988 Euros, drawing their next six games before the Three Lions put three past them in a 2020 friendly.

Hallgrimsson has included two players hoping to earn their firsy senior caps in goalkeeper Max O’Leary and attacker Kasey McAteer, but the former will certainly play backup to Caoimhin Kelleher.

Defensive stalwarts Shane Duffy and Enda Stevens have been omitted, but 35-year-old captain Seamus Coleman is still kicking and is set to win cap number 73 on Saturday.
