Mo Marley has been named as interim boss of the England Women's side following the recent sacking of Mark Sampson.

The 50-year-old will step up from her role as manager of the Under-19s team to take charge of the senior side's games against France, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kazakhstan over the next two months.

Marley has previously spent time on the backroom staff during Hope Powell's tenure, while also boasting managerial experience with Everton Ladies.

England will likely postpone naming a permanent successor to Sampson until the New Year, as questions still remain unanswered as to why he was dismissed last week.

Sampson was officially sacked on September 20 over fresh allegations concerning his time at Bristol Academy, where he is said to have engaged in "inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour" with female players.
