Maureen Angela "Mo" Marley MBE (née Mallon; born 31 January 1967) is an English football manager and former player. She most recently managed the England women's national under-21 football team. As a player, Marley was a centre back, who captained both the England women's national football team and Everton, turning out 41 times for England between 1995 and 2001.
Marley had a 24-year association with Everton, joining the club in their former incarnation as Leasowe Pacific in 1988. She won the 1989 Women's FA Cup and captained the team to the FA Women's Premier League title in 1997–98. After taking over as manager in 2002 — sacking her husband to do so — she led Everton to the 2008 FA Women's Premier League Cup and the 2010 FA Women's Cup. Marley led Everton into the UEFA Women's Champions League on three occasions, before standing down as manager in October 2012. After a three year spell as England U-21 women's manager she is currently the Under 23 side head.
