Yesterday it became clear that Phil Neville is leaving his position as national team captain for England's women's national team.

He continues at Inter Miami in MLS.

It was already clear that Sarina Wiegman would take over from Neville in September, 2021.

Therefore, England chooses a temporary solution.

Norwegian Hege Riise leads England until then.

- I am happy about the opportunity to work with England.

It is an ambitious team and I want to make a positive impression when I meet the squad in February, Riise says in a press release.

After England, Riise will take over the Norwegian J19 national team.
