Ex-England Women goalkeeper would have preferred female head coach instead of Phil Neville

Former England Women goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis would have preferred to see a female appointed as head coach of the national side ahead of Phil Neville, but believes there were no suitable candidates.

Neville, a former England defender, was named the permanent successor to Mark Sampson despite having no previous managerial experience - although he has had coaching stints with former club Manchester United as well as Valencia.
