Casey Jean Stoney MBE[5][6] (born 13 May 1982) is an English professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of San Diego Wave.[7]

A versatile defender, she was capped more than 100 times for the England women's national football team since making her debut in 2000. After being a non-playing squad member at UEFA Women's Euro 2005, she was an integral part of the England teams which reached the UEFA Women's Euro 2009 final and the quarter finals of the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2007 and 2011. In 2012, Stoney succeeded Faye White as the England captain and also became captain of the newly formed Great Britain squad for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[8] She ended her playing career at Liverpool Ladies.

She was the first head coach of the newly-formed Manchester United Women from June 2018 to May 2021. In the inaugural season, United won the FA Women's Championship title and promotion to the FA WSL. On 14 July 2021, Stoney was announced as the head coach of National Women's Soccer League club San Diego Wave, which began play in 2022.[9][10]
