Former USWNT boss Ellis would be 'strong' England hire, says former Lioness midfielder Carney

Jill Ellis ruled the world with the U.S. women's national team, and Karen Carney says the English-born coach could be perfect for the Lionesses.

The Football Association is looking for a new head coach to lead England after it was announced Phil Neville will leave his position next year.

Carney, a 144-cap former midfield star with England, says Ellis, who won the Women's World Cup with the USWNT in 2015 and 2019, has strong credentials for the job.
