Mark Sampson (born 18 October 1982) is a Welsh football coach, who is currently manager of the England women's national football team.[1][2]

Playing career

Born and raised in Creigiau,[3][4] a suburb of Cardiff, Sampson played amateur football for Cardiff Corinthians, where his brother was the manager.[5]

Management career

After completing a BA in sports development at the University of Wales Institute, Sampson was employed by the Football Association of Wales Trust in 2003 as a coach co-ordinator. He went on to become a coach, teaching youth players at Cardiff City.[6]

In 2007 Sampson became head of Swansea City's centre of excellence whilst the club was under the management of Roberto Martinez,[6] working there until 2009. He was appointed manager of Welsh Football League club Taff's Well in November 2008, having previously been youth team coach at the club.[7] The following year, he was also appointed manager of FA Women's Premier League club Bristol Academy, leaving Taff's Well in May 2010. He led the club to finish as runners up in the 2013 FA WSL season, the club's best-ever finish,[8] and to FA Women's Cup finals in 2010–11 and 2012–13.

In December 2013 Sampson was appointed manager of the England women's team.[8] In March 2015 England won the Cyprus Cup. In the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup later in the year, he led England to the semi-finals, marking the first time England had won a match beyond the group stage of a World Cup. After losing the semi-final to Japan, England secured victory in the match for third place, beating Germany for the first time in 21 games.[9]
