Brent Hills is an English football coach, who is currently FA Head of Women's Elite Development.
Hills played non-league football for Kingstonian and Feltham, as a right back.
He trained as a PE teacher and was also a college lecturer, before coaching in England and the United States at Brentford, Millwall, Fulham, Watford and Chapman University. Hills was responsible for starting the first female football academy in 1998 at Southwark College.
In February 2002 Hills was appointed the first full-time assistant coach to the England women's national football team. When England reintroduced an under-21 team in 2004, national coach Hope Powell put Hills in charge of it. He took the senior team to Aalen for a 5–1 friendly defeat to Germany in October 2006, when Powell was recovering from a hip operation.
He became caretaker manager of the England women's national team on 23 August 2013, after Powell was sacked by The Football Association (FA). He will take charge of England's opening qualification matches for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
