NEVILLE IN RACE TO REPLACE MONK

NEVILLE IN RACE TO REPLACE MONK


10/11/20


England women’s manager Phil Neville is on a list of potential candidates to replace Garry Monk at Sheffield Wednesday.

In April, Neville announced he would not be renewing his contract with the FA when it expires in July next year and is known to be considering a move into club football.

If he were to become Wednesday’s next managerial recruit, Neville would be expected to forego his role as manager of Great Britain’s women at the Tokyo Olympics next year.

Monk’s sacking was exclusively revealed by Sky Sports News last night with Wednesday languishing in 23rd spot in the Championship.

Former Wigan boss Paul Cook is one of the bookies early favourites alongside Tony Pulis. Ex-Leicester and Watford manager Nigel Pearson, a former Wednesday defender, has also been linked with a return to Hillsborough. However, Pearson has previously suggested he would not want to manage in the city where his family home is.
