Phil Neville has decided to leave his role as the Women’s England team in 2021 and says there is still plenty of work to do. This was a huge decision for Neville since he has been in this role for some time now and has now decided to leave the team. “I am looking forward to getting back to work with the team as soon as possible, We have a fantastic squad of players and there is plenty to work on as we look to progress as a team going into 2021.” said Phil Neville.
The 43 year old ex footballer was a defender at both Everton and Manchester United before signing his first manager contract with England Womens team. He led them to the first SheBelieves Cup and fourth place in the world cup in 2019, but since that loss in the Quarter Final, they have lost seven out of eleven games in total and failed to retain the SheBelieves cup title in March. The FA says the decision about his future has come due to the outbreak and the impact of the calendar in the world of women’s cup!
“Once football returns after this difficult period, Phil will continue his work with the Lionesses on the further development of his squad, I will support him fully with that important task whilst moving forward with the crucial succession planning process. We will now discuss next steps with the British Olympic Association and the home nations with regard to Team GB football and we are not in a position to make any further comment at this time.” said Campbell!
