Former World Cup winner Riise takes temporary charge of England Women after Neville's Inter Miami move

Hege Riise and Rhian Wilkinson have been appointed coaches to England’s women’s national team set-up following the departure of Phil Neville this week.

Neville left his role on Monday after just short of three years in charge of the Lionesses, moving to the United States to become the new manager of David Beckham’s Inter Miami.

Sarina Wiegman is set to succeed the former Manchester United defender, but not until September, with her to remain in charge of the Netherlands until then.
