Neville, who holds the Uefa Pro Licence, has worked as a coach at United and with the England Under-21 side since retiring as a player. Sports coaching is very much a family affair, with the Neville brothers' sister, Tracey Neville, the head coach of the England netball team. Then comes next year's women's World Cup in France, with England, whose next qualifying game sees them play Wales in Southampton on April 6, looking to improve on their third place at the 2015 edition. England Under-19 women's coach Mo Marley took over as caretaker boss of the senior side and led the team to a 1-0 friendly defeat by France in October before overseeing World Cup qualifying wins over Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kazakhstan.
