Phil Neville lifted six Premier League titles and the Champions League in a decorated playing career, but has described the chance to lead England's women into a World Cup as "the biggest and best thing" in his career to date.
World Cups had eluded Neville until now. An 11-year international career reaped 59 caps and he played in three European Championships, but he missed out on making a World Cup squad on three different occasions.
"England to me has always felt like unfinished business," Neville told The Times.
"The biggest disappointment of my career, with so many incredible players, was that we didn't get a trophy or even a final. I want to have success with England. I've wanted it all my life. And with these players, we've got a great chance."
"The trust and confidence he puts in every single player before a game, it inspires you to push on that extra 10 percent and that's what you want as a manager."
- 'A great example' -
=====================
"He's a great example of how to be successful and that comes across to the group. He always tells us if we are not doing what he expects, but at the same time he's there to say 'well done' when we are doing well."
