We start with the news that both the england and wales womens managers have stepped down
with immediate effect. In the last few hours, its been confirmed that phil neville will manage David Beckhams inter miami team, while jayne ludow will take on a job with the Technical Leadership Team at fifa. Neville was controvercially appointed england womens manager three years ago, despite having no coaching experience in the womens game. Patrick gearey looks back at his legacy for the lionesses. From the perspective of the english winter, moving to miami is an understandable choice. Phil neville leaves behind more than gray skies. In taking ajob leaves behind more than gray skies. In taking a job at inter milan miami, he ends his contract with england womens early, and missing out at the chance for the Olympic Games. In his social media sign off, he called the lionesses some of the most dedicated and talented women of ever worked with. They said he had improved him as a coach. Three years ago his twitter was the subject of
far closer attention after controversial posts involving women came to light. I controversial posts involving women came to light came to light. I apologize for those words and the came to light.

Although he was a very successful player, neville had i very successful player, neville had no top managerial experience to fall back on. He seemed to reinvigorate england. When they wanted 2019, expectations rose for that summers world cup. Of course expectation is that bad thing. The same hurdle theyd fallen at four years earlier. A feeling of stagnation began to take hold, but neville couldnt push the site on. When they lost to the americans at last year, rumbling became dissent. Its americans at last year, rumbling became dissent. Americans at last year, rumbling became dissent. Its a stubbornness, hes not became dissent. Its a stubbornness, hes got this became dissent.

And our results arent good enough at the moment. So he maybe needs to change the moment. So he maybe needs to change things. It was the wrong Team Selection change things. It was the wrong Team Selection going into that usa gave. His contract was due to and after this summer, but when that event was moved, it was decided he would not extend his deal to guide england there. Taking Great Britain to an Olympic Games would have been his new leaving you do, but the florida sunshine had a stronger pole than tokyo.

Foran leaves at a time of his own choosing. For an england manager, thatis choosing. For an england manager, that is in itself an achievement. Patrick gearey, bbc news. Joining us isjo currie, our womens sport reporter. Jo, will nevilles time in charge be seen as a success . Certainly on paper, he enjoyed a degree of success after he took over three years ago. A year later in 2019, he won the she believes coppin england. By doing so, he also qualified team gb for the olympics. He said himself he would be aiming to win the world cup, so by his own admission he had failed there. The bigger question may be, did he really push england on in terms of performances, and did he bring that attacking, exciting style of football that he promised he would . I suspect most fans on reflection would probably say no. Certainly since that world cup semi final results have not been good enough. At times the team looked lost, but
on the whole theres an awful lot there he must be respected for, but ijust there he must be respected for, but i just dont think many there he must be respected for, but ijust dont think many people would say he took the team forwards that much in his three years in charge. Wales also find themselves without a manager, as jayne ludlow also announced she was leaving her post today. Notjust not just looking at that, notjust looking at that, but not just looking at that, but that means the team gb role is empty, as we know, because phil was supposed to be taking the on. Would you see jayne ludlow as being the perfect person to take over in that respect . Unlike phil nevilles announcement, jayne ludlow� s comes as a surprise. You have to think about her experience as a manager and previously as a player, shes the kind of candidate that the english fa may look to fill that role. But essentially theres not going to be a panic appointment for the managersjob, because at
a panic appointment for the managers job, because at the moment there is still some question over whether this summers 0lympic there is still some question over whether this summers Olympic Games, already postponed last year, well go ahead. We coming in and august, and it might be that if that personal persons do well, then they may offer the team gb job to the interim england manager. Outside the setup, the likes of jayne ludlow would be considered, also casey stony, the Manchester United manager, and she captained team gb at the london 2012 olympics. So casey knows exactly whats involved when it comes to the olympics. Also the current chelsea manager, one of the current chelsea manager, one of the most successful managers in the womens game would also be considered. Again, she brings international experience. So the england fa have options when it comes to team gb, ijust dont think we will see a very quick apartment. Appointment. We will see a very quick apartment. Appointment we will see a very quick apartment. Appointment. Werejoined by were joined by michelle werejoined by Michelle Kaufman were joined by Michelle Kaufman from the miami herald.

So they will be on the same page, the owner and the manager will be on the same page. As far as his coaching style or style of play that he likes, i dont think the fans here are very familiar at this point. Dont think the fans here are very familiar at this point.

Its funny listening to your previous under phil neville . Its funny listening to your previous segment, a lot of the same things huge
expectations because David Beckham is involved, everything hes involved in has big expectations. He arrived here six years ago saying he would have a team, almost seven years now, and theres been lots of excitement about beckhams team. There was much excitement when they kicked off last march, but partly may be due to covert back and other things, the team did not live up to expectations covid 19. They finished tenth out of 14th in their conference, they squeaked into the playoffs but lost their first game 30 to playoffs but lost their first game 3 0 to a fellow Expansion Team from nashville that didnt get nearly the attention that beckhams team got from the media. After the season, from the media. After the season, from what i understand, david decided he would get much more involved this year and have a much more hands on approach, but being more hands on approach, but being more active in the soccer decisions. Last year he took more of a hands off approach, and hes very hands on because hes already named
one of his best friends as the manager. So the expectations are very high that things will change and will be a different culture, that beckham and the coach will be on the same page. I think last year there was some disconnect between there was some disconnect between the front office and the ownership group. There was a disconnect on what the goals were and what the philosophy was, so i think theyre trying to get everybody on the same page. Trying to get everybody on the same nae, ~.
