The Football Association has confirmed that new England Women head coach Phil Neville will not face a charge for historical tweets sent from his account six years ago.
Neville was named as the new Lionesses boss on Tuesday but was accused of making sexist comments on the social media site in 2012.
In one tweet, the 41-year-old suggested that women would be too "busy preparing breakfast/getting kids ready/making the beds" to read his messages.
In a letter to Kick It Out, FA chief executive Martin Glenn stated that background checks were done on Neville but did not reveal the comments in question.
"The background vetting highlighted some but not all the historic[al] social media comments that have been brought to light," Glenn wrote.
"A thorough discussion about our expectations around standards and culture was part of the process.
"I can also confirm that the assessment of The FA's integrity/regulatory team is that those comments would not meet the threshold for issuing a charge.
"Phil will be educated on all aspects of the FA's regulatory functions and his responsibilities.
"He will also be warned that any future comments that are deemed to cross the charging threshold will be treated with the utmost seriousness and may lead to disciplinary action."
The former Manchester United and Valencia coach issued an apology on Wednesday, insisting that his comments were not "a true and genuine reflection of either my character or beliefs".
