Phil Neville has been manager of the Lionesses for over two years.

In charge of the Lionesses since January 2018, Neville should be considered a success so far after celebrating the second anniversary of his time in the job.

He led England to a SheBelieves Cup win in 2019 beating off the strong challenge of USA, Japan and Brazil before leading them into his first World Cup as a player or a manager, the team reaching the semi-finals before being knocked out by eventual winners USA.

Having expressed his desire to stay on and lead the team into the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and a home European championship, his team went five games without a win before their run of poor form was halted with a scrappy 1-0 victory away at Portugal.

Since then his side lost 2-1 to Germany at Wembley, but won their most recent game 3-2 against the Czech Republic in November.

Of his 32 games in charge, Neville has won 18 of them, drawn 5 and lost 9, and ultimately will be judged on his results in major competitions.

England will be back in action at the SheBelieves Cup, with three games in March 2020 where they will face a tough challenge against USA, Japan, and Spain. He will then take charge of the Great Britain squad for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics before leading England in to the European Championships in 2021 on home soil.
