The 100-cap midfielder has transformed the women’s game in the Netherlands as a manager and represents a template for female coach development in England
“Nexit” – Phil Neville’s departure from the role of England Women’s coach – has been confirmed for next year and the hunt to find a successor is under way at a time when coronavirus has left the domestic game facing financial stress. In the wake of Nexit, the need to appoint a national manager capable of reassuring – and inspiring – supporters, sponsors and investors has assumed unprecedented urgency; the Football Association knows this is a decision that it literally cannot afford to get wrong.
Early frontrunners include Jill Ellis – the Portsmouth-born coach who took the USA to victory in last year’s World Cup – Chelsea’s talented Emma Hayes, her promising Manchester United counterpart, Casey Stoney, and Laura Harvey, now in a development role with the USA after an impressive stint as Arsenal manager.
