It was already clear that Neville, who took over England in 2018 and led the team to a fourth place at the World Cup 20198, would end on June 30 this year and that the national team captain, Sabina Wiegman, will take over - but only after leading it Dutch national team in the Olympics.
But now the former Manchester United player announces that he will leave earlier than that.
"It has been an honor to lead England, and I have had three of the best years of my career," he wrote in a statement on Twitter.
The English Football Association says that they are recruiting a substitute league captain who will lead the national team over the Olympics.
