The coach guided his side to a third-placed finish in the Women's World Cup and has now been been backed to earn a job at the pinnacle of the male game
England Women's coach Mark Sampson can manage in the Premier League, according to former Swansea City academy manager David Moss.
Sampson, 32, enjoyed a superb campaign in the Women's World Cup, with England finishing third by virtue of Saturday's 1-0 extra- time win over Germany – thus making their campaign the most successful of any England team since the male side of 1966.
Moss worked with Sampson at Swansea and believes that the success of Garry Monk at the Liberty Stadium proves that youth is no obstacle to managing in the top flight.
"A lot of clubs will have seen what such a young guy has done at the World Cup and will want to speak to him," he is quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror.
"I don't see why we wouldn’t see him in the Premier League soon. He is a fantastic manager and clearly has the ability - he just needs the opportunity.
"He started in the men's game and I'm sure Mark has aspirations to manage at the highest level."
Moss, who now works as a scout for Celtic, continued: "Clubs all over the country will recognise what he has done and realise he can do that elsewhere.
"Had they won the World Cup, then you would have to say he couldn't do much more in the women's game."
