A year after the men reached the final of the Euros 2020 tournament, it is now England Women’s turn to take a shot at glory.

Sarina Wiegmann came in after Phil Neville stepped down as manager of the women’s team last autumn and she is yet to lose a game as their new manager.

England will also have a new captain taking over since their last major tournament as Steph Houghton recently stepped down from the role.

Houghton has since been left out of the squad following an achilles injury and it’s Leah Williamson who is set to take over the reins.

On her announcement, the Arsenal midfielder said: “This is an incredibly proud moment for me and my family and I’m honoured to be asked to lead us at the Euros.

“Steph Houghton is one of this country’s all-time greats and to follow in her footbsteps - and all of those special names who have led the team in the past - means so much.”
