Ex-England assistant Priestman appointed manager of Canada national team

Ex-England assistant Beverly Priestman has been appointed manager of the Canada women's national team.

Priestman has stepped down from her role as England U18s head coach to take up the post, and her tenure with Canada is set to officially begin on November 1.

The 34-year-old took charge of the Lionesses' U18s in early September following a restructure of the women's technical division, having spent the previous two years working with the senior squad.
