England women coach Brent Hills stays for next two World Cup qualifiers
Brent Hills will remain in charge of the England women's team for their next two World Cup qualifiers, with the Football Association confirming it has deferred the appointment of a new permanent head coach.
Hills was handed the reins on an interim basis last month following the departure of Hope Powell, leading the team to wins over Belarus and Turkey.
England next take on Wales at The Den on 26 October before travelling to Turkey five days later, and the FA will wait until those two matches are completed before deciding who will be given the role full-time.
"Taking charge of my country for those two games was a real honour. I enjoyed every minute of it and I'm sure I will again," Hills said. "England v Wales is always a game that stands out and I'm sure it will be a special occasion for both sets of players, staff and fans.
"Neither side will want to lose, but our target is another win so we'll put in the same amount of effort as we always do."
England have made just one change to their squad from last month's qualifiers with Laura Bassett replacing defender Anita Asante, who has a fractured metatarsal.
