142 Applications for The Role of Women's England Manager.

[WinksyBoy]

That seems a serious amount of applications to me.

A total of 142 people have applied for the England head coach's job, with more than half meeting the criteria, says Baroness Campbell, the Football Association's head of women's football.
Phil Neville will leave the role next summer, so his replacement will be in charge for Euro 2021 and may also lead Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics.
After that, England are targeting World Cup success in 2023.

Didnt he do quite a good job though until recently trailing off a bit?

Hopefully will be a female coach next.

I think the media pushed the average job he was doing with a bit more zeal because they were pushing women's football generally. If you're going to give Neville credit for anything, it should be for raising the profile of an otherwise pretty average team.

The women's England team was sort of where we were in the 90's with one or two incredible players surrounded by a lot of very average players.
