Wayne Brown is the new manager of the Isle of Man women’s national football team, Manx Radio Sport reported on 12 November.
His appointment, made the previous week, is on a fixed-term basis up to the 2029 International Island Games. He replaces Wayne Lisy, who left the post in August having led the side for five years.
Mr Brown said he was “genuinely proud and excited” to be taking on the job, according to Manx Radio. The station reported that he paid tribute to Mr Lisy’s work. He said his style would combine taking the squad on to a higher level with being willing to listen to the players.
Mr Brown holds a UEFA C Licence. This season he has been coaching the Douglas & District women’s team, which is playing its first season in the Canada Life Women’s League. Between 2021 and 2025 he led Alton FC Ladies and Girls Development, Manx Radio reported.
The national side has had recent success. It won the Cherry Godfrey Cup in 2024 and was runner-up in the same competition this year. It also took bronze at the 2023 International Island Games and silver at the 2025 Games, according to the station.
