1981... and bbl... and two caps for norway, in 1983,... and two years later she helped them win the world cup. she also has an olympic medalfrom the 2000 world cup. she also has an olympic medal from the 2000 games. world cup. she also has an olympic medalfrom the 2000 games. she has every accolade that the international women's game allows her to win, really. widely regarded as one of the best players of her era, but once she retired, she went into management and she was an assistant boss to the usa for three years and 2009. domestically she's led norwegian side lsk to six consecutive league titles. she's also led them to the champions league quarterfinals, and only last year, she was nominated for a fee for the coach of the year. so she has pretty much everything on her cv, she's regarded as one of the best players, but also now she's regarded as one of the best managers in the game. and you can understand why the fa are so relieved to secure her services. if you look ahead to this year, it's possible she may not manage many, if any games.

it's a strange situation, isn't it? at the moment, england have no matches penciled in. i understand that's not for a lack of trying, with the fa desperate to get match is put on for the lionesses. but the way the pandemic is, it's proving impossible. bear in mind, they are 6-7 impossible. bear in mind, they are 6—7 months from the olympic games and 18 months from the home euros. this is farfrom ideal. but in terms of research, she will lead the next training camp in february. rand wilkinson will be her assistant for that. sarina wiegman comes in has yet to be decided, but she could well be the person to do that. and in doing so, she may well put herself in the hat to lead team gb at the summer's olympic games. but as he touched on earlier, there are still questions over whether those games will go ahead. i don't think the fa will make snap decisions over

just going on to half—time, they are taking on west brom at the london stadium. west ham have taken the lead there, jared bowen with that goal. at 8.15pm, it's leicester against chelsea. it'll be an intriguing one at the king power — especially when it comes to the differing fortunes the strikers. injamie vardy, leicester have a man who has 11 goals this season and has been so consistent over the last few years. boss brendan rodgers hopes he'll be fit tonight, and has admitted they've had to start thinking about life after vardy. my myjob is to maximize the best we can get out ofjamie vardy while he's here. and hopefully in my time here, we've shown that he's been continuing with that development. i still feel, even at that age, he can still feel, even at that age, he can still improve and develop the game on and off the field. he's consistently showed that to me, he's absolutely brilliant. but of course,

the backdrop to it is that the club will always have to be looking forward in planning forward — not just forjamie's position, but every position. so it's always a process with every player. as for chelsea, manager frank lampard is still trying to get the best out of timo werner. the german signed for more than £50 million in the summer and has struggled to settle — he's gotjust four league goals this season. that's where a period like this always— that's where a period like this always turn around. it's something i experienced in my career, all players — experienced in my career, all players have experienced in their careers_ players have experienced in their careers and their own ways. when you are a _ careers and their own ways. when you are a top— careers and their own ways. when you are a top player, as he's shown he is, all_ are a top player, as he's shown he is, all eyes — are a top player, as he's shown he is, all eyes are on you and you become — is, all eyes are on you and you become magnified. but the basics are the same. _ become magnified. but the basics are the same, and that's what myjob is, to tell_ the same, and that's what myjob is, to tell him _ the same, and that's what myjob is, to tell him that and work with him on it _ now, as liverpool captain, jordan henderson has led his team to premier league and champions league glory. now he has a new title. he's been named as the official champion of nhs charities together for his work during the pandemic.
