Liverpool Women have parted company with manager Matt Beard after three-and-a-half years in charge.
Beard leaves his second spell at Liverpool – after a successful first stint between 2012 and 2015 where he delivered two Women’s Super League titles – with the club sitting in seventh place in the women’s top-flight.
Beard rejoined the club in 2021 and achieved promotion to the WSL in his first season. His final game in charge was a 4-0 defeat to Man City on February 16.
“We have all experienced some fantastic moments with Matt as manager of LFC Women and we express our gratitude for his significant contribution,” a statement from Liverpool read.
“Our priority was to return this team to where it belongs and we collectively achieved that in 2022 by winning promotion to the WSL.
“We need to build on that momentum and although this has been a difficult decision, we believe it provides us with the best opportunity for future success on the pitch.”
Liverpool have announced that Amber Whiteley has stepped in as interim manager with immediate effect.
