Neville, 42, is the twin sister of England Women football boss Phil Neville and the sister of Manchester United great Gary Neville.
"Being the Vitality Roses Head Coach is something I have relished and I am extremely proud to have had the opportunity to do," she said.
"Over the last few months I have sat down with England Netball to look at how I could fulfil my role whilst taking into consideration my personal circumstances.

"The Vitality Roses' future is paramount in my thoughts and plans and I will passionately and wholeheartedly continue to support them and England Netball," she said .
"I will hopefully get an opportunity to lead again in the future."
