Gemma Grainger: Wales manager steps down to take up Norway job

Wales manager Gemma Grainger has stood down from her role as Wales manager with immediate effect.

Grainger, who succeeded Jayne Ludlow in March 2021, will take up a new head coach role with Norway.

Grainger guided Wales to the brink of qualification for their first major tournament, but lost out in the 2023 World Cup play-offs.

“Over the last three years I have given my heart and soul to our journey,” Grainger said.

“It has been an honour and a privilege to work with this group of players and staff, and to represent a nation that has supported the team with incredible pride and passion.

“I had no intention to leave Cymru, but I have been offered an unexpected opportunity that I could not turn down and it has been extremely difficult for me to get to this point. I hope you know the decision to leave has not been taken lightly.”
