White bows out with a year remaining on her contract with Manchester City where she will be much missed. The same goes for Wiegman and England, whose preparations for next summer’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand are bound to feel slightly strange without the presence of the Lionesses’ “third captain”.
“Ellen’s given so much for England, we are all so proud of her,” Wiegman said on Monday. “I have only had the pleasure of working with her for this past year but her professionalism, work rate and finishing ability is world class. We will miss her, but I fully understand her decision to take a new direction.
With customary elegance White handed the baton to, among others, the young England centre forward Alessia Russo. “This had been one of the hardest decisions of my life but one I know is right for me,” she said.
