Casey Jean Stoney MBE[5][6] (born 13 May 1982) is an English professional football manager and former player who currently serves as the head coach of the Canada women's national soccer team.

On 14 July 2021, Stoney was announced as the head coach of San Diego Wave FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).

The club's only trophies in recent years have been won by the women's team – and in the last four seasons we were the only side apart from Arsenal to win major honours.

Seven weeks ago we played in front of a record crowd at the FA Cup final – that's now our last match and I'm totally gutted for everyone involved on the women's side.

I just hope that what has happened to us doesn't reverberate around the women's game – otherwise it will be in serious trouble.In July 2007, she signed for Chelsea Ladies along with Charlton and England teammate Eniola Aluko.

[17] On 13 March 2010, Stoney announced on Twitter that she had signed for FA WSL rivals Lincoln Ladies to play alongside England stars such as Sue Smith and Jess Clarke.

[26] But by the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup in China, Stoney, preferred to Rachel Unitt at left back, was one of four England players to play every minute of every match as they lost a quarter final 3–0 to the United States.

[31] Stoney started all four of England's games at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, and converted her kick in the quarter-final penalty shoot-out defeat to France.

[34] When England's longstanding manager Hope Powell was sacked, Stoney was left out of new boss Mark Sampson's first squad due to a foot injury.

[38] She was part of the England squad which reached the semi-finals of UEFA Women's Euro 2017 and played her last international match in a friendly against France on 21 October 2017.

[41] The group was selected by England manager Hope Powell and comprised 16 English players plus Scots Kim Little and Ifeoma Dieke.

[43] After winning all three matches and finishing at the top of the table for Group E, Great Britain advanced to the quarter finals where they faced Canada in front of 28,828 spectators at City of Coventry Stadium.

[44] England's third-place finish at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup secured Great Britain's qualification for the 2016 Summer Olympics, but the team were blocked from competing due to political infighting among the "Home Nations".

[51][52] On the opening weekend of the 2019–20 FA WSL season, Stoney managed United in the team's first Manchester derby in front of a crowd of 31,213, an English domestic women's league record.

[60][61] On 14 July 2021, Stoney was announced as the inaugural head coach of National Women's Soccer League club San Diego Wave FC, which began play in 2022.

[8][9] The Wave completed its first competition under Stoney, the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup, with a third-place group stage finish in the West Division on a 1–3–2 record.

Winning the shield earned them a bye to the semi-finals of the post-season, where they fell to the OL Reign on the Wave's home field of Snapdragon Stadium.

[67] Stoney was named head coach of the Canada women's national soccer team in January 2025; she is the permanent replacement for Bev Priestman, who departed following a drone spying scandal.
