Casey Stoney, a former England captain who went on to win NWSL Coach of the Year honours, has been named coach of the Canadian women’s soccer team.

The sixth-ranked Canadian women have been without a permanent coach since Bev Priestman was sent home during the Paris Olympics last summer due to the drone-spying scandal.

Canada soccer says Stoney will start with the Canada women in February at the Pinatar cup, a three-match series in Spain.
