The England U21 head coach Aidy Boothroyd focused on the Toulon Tournament 2018
The double-title holders England will try to clinch the Toulon Tournament trophy for the third time in a row during the upcoming edition which will be held from 26th May to 9th June.
Drawn against China (26h May), Mexico (29th May) and Qatar (1st June) in the group A, the Young Lions will be led by the coach Aidy Boothroyd. The latter has already guided the England national team during the Toulon Tournament 2015 and seems delighted to going back to the south of France.
“It’s a brilliant tournament and a lot of very good players have been there. We have plans and preparations in place for that tournament and going to Toulon will allow me to have a look at one or two of the players from the other groups, such as Keith Downing’s U20s or even Paul Simpson’s U19s group.
So we’ll make sure we have a good look at our group in March and then we’ll look forward to Toulon in May”, he said to the FA official website.
As a reminder, the Young Lions have already won the Toulon Tournament six times : in 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994 and most recently in 2016 and 2017.
