Jill Ellis has what it takes to manage England Women: Carney

The Hindu  

Jill Ellis ruled the world with the United States women's national team, and Karen Carney says the English-born coach could be perfect for the Lionesses. 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. Carney told BBC Radio 5 Live : "I would probably go after Jill Ellis because she is the former US manager, she's proven. England has reached the semifinal of the last two Women's World Cups, losing at that stage to the US last year in France, and also got to the last four at Euro 2017.
