Phil Neville will leave his role as England Women manager at the end of his contract in 2021, the FA have confirmed.
The former Manchester United and Everton defender will leave his post following the decision to postpone the Uefa 2021 Women's European Championship to 2022.
Director of women’s football Sue Campbell said: “In light of the impact of current global events on the sporting calendar and in the best interests of the England Women’s team, both parties were in agreement that our shared priority was to ensure the Lionesses have continuity of coaching going into the home EURO and looking towards the 2023 FIFA World Cup.
“Once football returns after this difficult period, Phil will continue his work with the Lionesses on the further development of his squad. I will support him fully with that important task while moving forward with the crucial succession planning process.
“We'll now discuss next steps with the British Olympic Association and the home nations with regard to Team GB Football and we're not in a position to make any further comment at this time.”
Neville, 43, took the reins in January 2018, leading the Lionesses to the SheBelieves Cup in 2019 before finishing fourth at the World Cup that summer.

The side have struggled for form since reaching those heights however and since last year’s quarter-final win over Norway, Neville’s side have lost seven of their last 11 games.
He said: “As a result of the changes to the proposed tournament scheduling, we'll now be working to plan for a revised match calendar once it's safe and appropriate to do so.
"I'm looking forward to getting back to work with the team as soon as possible. We have a fantastic squad of players and there is plenty to work on as we look to progress as a team going into 2021.”
Manchester United Women manager Casey Stoney is among the early favourites to succeed Neville.
