Phil Neville to leave role as England head coach when contract expires in 2021

Phil Neville will leave his role as England head coach in July 2021, it has been confirmed.

The former Manchester United defender will not extend his contract with the Football Association, which was signed in January 2018 when he succeeded Mark Sampson as the Lionesses' boss.

Neville's deal was supposed to run until the end of the 2021 UEFA Women's Euros, which England will host. However, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic has seen that tournament pushed back a further year, with the men's Euros to take place in 2021.
