Kay Cossington joined The FA in 2005, firstly as parttime head coach of the England Women’s Under 15 team. In 2009 the Under 19-team with current England player Lucy Bronze in the squad won a European Championship gold medal with Cossington as assistant-coach, she then led the England Women Under 23s squad competing as Great Britain, with current Lionesses Mary Earps and Fran Kirby, to a gold medal at the World University Games, in Kazan 2013. And this summer the Lionesses won their first major tournament under Cossington’s reign as the Head of the Women’s Technical Division, responsible for all England Women’s Teams. The appointment of manager Sarina Wiegman has been one of the fundamental additions for her in achieving this success, and off the pitch the establishment of a newly created Women’s Technical Division within The FA in 2020 was one of the major milestones under Cossington’s leadership, creating a blueprint for success for Women’s England Teams.
