(Reuters) - England Women's head coach Phil Neville says he hopes to lead the British team at the Tokyo Olympics next year and expects the Football Association (FA) to decide shortly as to whether he will be handed the reins.

Neville, who guided England to the Women's World Cup semi-finals last year, will leave his role with the team at the end of his contract in July 2021. Netherlands Women's manager Sarina Wiegman will succeed him from September next year.
