Angel City FC appoints former England international Eni Aluko as first-ever sporting director

Aluko joins the NWSL expansion club - which can count Natalie Portman, Serena Williams and Mia Hamm among its owners - after leaving Aston Villa

Future NWSL expansion team Angel City FC has announced that former England international Eni Aluko will be its first-ever sporting director.

Aluko left the same role at Aston Villa last week after just over a year with the Women's Super League club. It was a role she took shortly after calling time on a playing career that saw her represent the Lionesses over 100 times, with Chelsea and Juventus among the seven clubs she played for across 17 years.
