PHIL NEVILLE HAS deleted his Twitter account in an apparent reaction to a fierce backlash over his appointment as England Women's manager.
When asked what about the women, he posted: "When I said morning men I thought the women would of been busy preparing breakfast/getting kids ready/making beds-sorry morning women!"
For England, Neville won 59 caps during his playing career and was a regular for Manchester United during most of his time there.
The former Manchester United, Everton and England defender has previously been a first-team coach at United and an assistant manager at La Liga side Valencia, but this is his first involvement in the women's game.
England are now on a warm weather training camp and Neville spent Tuesday at their base in La Manga to get to know the players who will be under his charge for the qualification campaign for the 2019 World Cup. He replaces Mo Marley, who was managing the side on an interim basis since Mark Sampson's dismissal last September.
This was a reply to his sister, Tracey Neville, the England netball coach.

An old tweet has come back to haunt Phil Neville.
Neville, 41, has been appointed as the Lionesses head coach through the 2021 European Championships.
Now he will set out on his own path and he represents something of a coup for the Lionesses given his experience in the men's game, and the FA will be hoping his arrival boosts the ever-growing popularity of women's football in England.
Emma Hayes, Nick Cushing, Laura Harvey and John Herdman all dropped out of the runningWho were the other candidates? He had worked on coaching staffs for both club and country but never had been in the position to lead a team.
That prompted the FA to turn to England U19 coach Mo Marley as a caretaker manager and she led England to a 1-0 defeat by France in a friendly in October and two convincing World Cup qualifying wins over Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kazakhstan.
