I thought several years ago when Hope Powell left the (I think) England job, that she would be a prime candidate for a lower tier men's team to have a pint on her. Didn't happen.
Seems like it could be a good appointment and good for them forgiving it a go. I think players will have to respect her and consider her an equal on the pitch, but many successful managers haven't had great playing careers and it doesn't impact them
Will be interesting to watch and good luck to her
