Former Manchester United manager Casey Stoney has been appointed head coach of the Canada women's national team.
The 42-year-old former England captain will start her role with immediate effect and will oversee a three-match series in February at the Pinatar Cup in Spain.
Canada had been looking for a replacement since another English coach - Bev Priestman - lost her job following the 2024 Olympic Games drone scandal.
Stoney, who was sacked by National Women's Soccer League side San Diego Wave in June, previously led Manchester United to Women's Super League promotion and two successive fourth-place finishes in England's top tier.
"I am honoured to join Canada Soccer," said Stoney.
"Canada has a proud tradition in women's football and I am excited to work with such a talented group of players.
"Together with the federation's new leadership, we will strive to build on past successes and continue to grow the sport in Canada on and off the field.
"I look forward to the journey ahead and to engaging with the incredible passion of Canadian soccer fans."
