http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/42709928 England women: Phil Neville announced as new head coach on deal to 2021
Phil Neville has been appointed head coach of the England women's team on a deal until 2021.
Neville, 41, has coached at former club Manchester United, Valencia and England Under-21s but has only managed one game - at Salford City, a team he co-owns.
The ex-England full-back takes over from Mo Marley, who had been in interim charge since Mark Sampson's sacking.
"This squad's on the verge of something special and I believe I can lead them to the next level," said Neville.
Neville's contract runs through to the end of the 2021 Uefa Women's European Championship campaign.
But he will first lead the Lionesses - ranked third in the world - at the 2019 World Cup in France, where they will be among the favourites.
"I am honoured to be given the chance to lead England," he added. "With the new coaching team we are putting in place, we can help the players build on their great progress in recent years.
"There is no greater honour than representing your country and it will be a privilege to do it again."
The Football Association's director of women's football, Baroness Sue Campbell, said: "I am really pleased we have got Phil and we will build a brilliant team around him that covers every base.
"His enthusiasm, passion and desire for the role impressed us all and once he emerged as a candidate we knew we had the right person for this talented squad."
Neville added that he was "passionate about working within the wider set-up at St George's Park, with influential people such as Mo Marley and Casey Stoney, and with the support of Baroness Sue Campbell and the wider women's game".
