Casey Jean Stoney MBE[5][6] (born 13 May 1982) is an English professional football manager and former player who currently serves as the head coach of the Canada women's national soccer team.

Key Information

A versatile defender, she was capped more than 100 times for the England women's national football team since making her debut in 2000. After being a non-playing squad member at UEFA Women's Euro 2005, she was an integral part of the England teams which reached the UEFA Women's Euro 2009 final and the quarter finals of the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2007 and 2011. In 2012, Stoney succeeded Faye White as the England captain and also became captain of the newly formed Great Britain squad for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[7] She ended her playing career at Liverpool Ladies.

She was the first head coach of the newly formed Manchester United Women from June 2018 to May 2021. In the inaugural season, United won the FA Women's Championship title and promotion to the FA WSL. On 14 July 2021, Stoney was announced as the head coach of San Diego Wave FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).[8][9] The Wave fired Stoney in 2024 following a seven-game winless streak.

Club career

[edit]

Chelsea and Arsenal

[edit]

Stoney joined Chelsea Ladies, aged 12,[10] before moving to Arsenal Ladies in 1999.

Charlton Athletic

[edit]

Already an England international, Stoney joined Charlton Athletic Ladies in the summer of 2002 in search of regular first-team football. She also took up a scholarship at The Football Association's National Player Development Centre at Loughborough University.[11] In a successful first season Stoney captained Charlton to their first FA Women's Cup final.[12]

She led Charlton to success in the FA Women's Premier League Cup in 2004,[13] the FA Women's Cup in 2005 as Charlton beat Everton 1–0,[2] and the 2–1 victory over Arsenal in the 2006 Premier League Cup.[14] When Charlton disbanded their entire women's section following the relegation of Charlton Athletic men's team in 2007, Stoney said:[15]

I'm disgusted with the club – the men get relegated and we get punished. The club's only trophies in recent years have been won by the women's team – and in the last four seasons we were the only side apart from Arsenal to win major honours. Seven weeks ago we played in front of a record crowd at the FA Cup final – that's now our last match and I'm totally gutted for everyone involved on the women's side. I just hope that what has happened to us doesn't reverberate around the women's game – otherwise it will be in serious trouble.

Return to Chelsea

[edit]

In July 2007, she signed for Chelsea Ladies along with Charlton and England teammate Eniola Aluko.[10] In February 2009, she became player-manager until the end of the season, following the resignation of Steve Jones.[16] At Stoney's recommendation, Matt Beard took over as manager for 2009–10.[17]

On 13 March 2010, Stoney announced on Twitter that she had signed for FA WSL rivals Lincoln Ladies to play alongside England stars such as Sue Smith and Jess Clarke. Stoney stated that Lincoln offered the prospect of full-time training, which Chelsea were unable to match.[18] Keith Boanas, her manager at Charlton, revealed that Stoney is a Chelsea supporter so found the decision extremely difficult.[19]

On 13 December 2016, Liverpool confirmed that Stoney had signed with the club.[21] She played her last match at the club on 21 February 2018. She subsequently retired to take a role in Phil Neville's backroom team in the England women's national team.[22]

International career

[edit]

England

[edit]

Stoney came through England's under-age squads, making her debut for the senior team in August 2000 as a substitute against France. She was named in the provisional 30-player squad for Euro 2001 but did not make the final list of 20 and remained on the standby list. She made her first start in March 2002 against Norway,[23] and, after spells in central defence[12] and at right back,[24] went on to become England's first choice left back.[25] In February 2003 Stoney wore the captain's armband when regular skipper Karen Walker was substituted in a 1–0 friendly defeat by Italy.[12] Her first senior international goal came as England beat Portugal 4–0 in the Algarve Cup in March 2005.[2]

Stoney was named in the squad for Euro 2005, hosted in England, but remained unused as the hosts made a group stage exit. Her disappointment was such that she considered retiring from international football.[26] But by the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup in China, Stoney, preferred to Rachel Unitt at left back, was one of four England players to play every minute of every match as they lost a quarter final 3–0 to the United States.[27] Stoney won the Nationwide International Player of the Year award for the 2007–08 season, ahead of Anita Asante and Alex Scott.[28] In May 2009, Stoney was one of the first 17 female players to be given central contracts by The Football Association (FA).[29]

At the Euro 2009 final tournament in Finland, Stoney recovered from a red card in a 2–1 opening match defeat by Italy[30] to help England reach the final. Stoney explained that for many players this was not only the best moment of their careers, but possibly the happiest moment in their lives.[31]

Stoney with England in 2015

Stoney started all four of England's games at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, and converted her kick in the quarter-final penalty shoot-out defeat to France.[32] When pregnant Faye White retired from international football in 2012, Hope Powell appointed Stoney as the new England captain. "It's an absolute honour, the biggest privilege I've ever been given," was Stoney's response.[26]

In 2013, Stoney became the first female member of the Professional Footballers' Association's management committee.[33] She led England into their Euro 2013 campaign but the team performed poorly and finished in last place, to her "bitter disappointment".[34] When England's longstanding manager Hope Powell was sacked, Stoney was left out of new boss Mark Sampson's first squad due to a foot injury. Sampson informed Stoney that her captaincy was under review, a decision she understood.[35] Steph Houghton was then named as her successor as captain.[36]

After being called for her third straight World Cup, Stoney said the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada would be her last.[37] Mostly coming out of the bench, Stoney was part of the first English team to qualify for the semi-finals.[38] She was part of the England squad which reached the semi-finals of UEFA Women's Euro 2017. She played her last international match against Denmark on 1 July 2017.

She was allotted 134 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England's inaugural international.[39][40]

Great Britain

In June 2012, Stoney was named in the 18-player Great Britain squad formed for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[41] The group was selected by England manager Hope Powell and comprised 16 English players plus Scots Kim Little and Ifeoma Dieke. Stoney was confirmed in her role as captain.[42] Stoney scored in the team's second group stage match, a 3–0 win over Cameroon.[43] After winning all three matches and finishing at the top of the table for Group E, Great Britain advanced to the quarter finals where they faced Canada in front of 28,828 spectators at City of Coventry Stadium. Stoney was disappointed when Great Britain lost 2–0 and were knocked out. She argued for the continued participation of Great Britain at future Olympic football tournaments.[44] England's third-place finish at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup secured Great Britain's qualification for the 2016 Summer Olympics, but the team were blocked from competing due to political infighting among the "Home Nations". A 2016 UEFA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament was convened instead.[45]

On the opening weekend of the 2019–20 FA WSL season, Stoney managed United in the team's first Manchester derby in front of a crowd of 31,213, an English domestic women's league record. Manchester United lost 1–0,[53] but prevailed six weeks later in the League Cup to earn her and the club's first Manchester derby win, beating Manchester City 2–0.[54] On 8 November 2019, Stoney signed a contract extension with Manchester United, keeping her at the club until 2022.[55] During the season, Stoney was a vocal critic of the quality of refereeing within the WSL, calling it "substandard" following United's 1–0 loss to Chelsea on 17 November 2019.[56][57] Stoney's United, again, drew considerable media attention in February 2020 following a controversial phantom handball penalty decision against Katie Zelem in United's 1–1 draw with Reading.[58][59] On 12 May 2021, it was announced Stoney would be stepping down as Manchester United manager at the end of the season having secured a second successive fourth-place league finish, one point behind Arsenal in the final Champions League qualification spot.[60][61]

In 2023, Stoney's Wave FC were the NWSL regular season champions after defeating Racing Louisville FC on the last day of the 2023 regular season, winning the NWSL 2023 Shield.

Personal life

Coming out

In February 2014, Casey Stoney publicly came out as a lesbian in an interview with The Guardian, revealing that she was in a relationship with her former teammate Megan Harris and that her sexuality had long been an open secret within women's football circles. Inspired by the supportive public response to Olympic diver Tom Daley's coming out a few months earlier, Stoney described the decision as liberating, noting that it removed "a huge weight" from her shoulders after years of internal conflict. This announcement occurred amid increasing visibility for LGBTQ+ athletes in sports, particularly as women's football gained prominence following England's third-place finish at the 2013 UEFA Women's Euro. Stoney had harbored significant fears about the potential repercussions of going public, including damage to her career as England captain and Arsenal defender, as well as backlash from fans, media, and online trolls.

Stoney's coming out elevated her role as an advocate for LGBTQ+ issues in football, where she became a leading voice in addressing homophobia and promoting inclusivity. She has spoken candidly about the early-career obstacles for players, such as pervasive societal homophobia that made concealment feel necessary, and advocated for starting from youth levels to combat such attitudes. As a supporter of initiatives like the Rainbow Laces campaign against homophobic abuse in sport, Stoney emphasized the need for cultural change, particularly in male-dominated environments, to ensure safer spaces for all athletes. Her visibility as an out leader influenced team dynamics during her time at and with , where her authenticity helped cultivate environments of acceptance and encouraged open conversations about sexuality among players.
