Manchester United Manager To Step Down
Manchester United’s women’s head coach Casey Stoney is to step down from her role at the end of the 2020/21 campaign.
The 38-year-old former England international said it is time for someone else to build on her success.
Stoney guided the team to the Championship title following their launch as a professional outfit in 2018.
However, following a second successive fourth-placed finish in the Women’s Super League this season she has decided to step aside. She said in a statement on the club website:
It has been an honour to lead the women’s team at this great club and this has been an incredibly tough decision.

Having come on board to start the team from scratch, then winning the Women’s Championship in our first season, we have now successfully established the team as a force in the Women’s Super League.
I have loved leading this group and I am proud of what we have achieved together.
However, after a difficult season with the disruption caused by the pandemic, I now feel the time is right to take some time away and for someone else to come in and lead the team on the next stage of its journey.
Ed Woodward, United’s executive vice-chairman, paid a handsome tribute to the former England captain.
He said Stoney had been a driving force behind the Manchester United women’s team since she joined the club in 2018.
Woodward added Stoney had been an inspiration to her players and staff and to everyone at the club, as well as to the fans.
John Murtough, Football Director said the club is in the process of recruiting a new Women’s Head Coach and this will be announced in due course.
