Liverpool Women Part Ways with Manager Matt Beard

Liverpool Women's Football Club has parted ways with manager Matt Beard after a challenging season that saw the team sitting seventh in the Women's Super League with only four wins in 14 matches. Beard, who previously led the club to back-to-back league titles and promotion back to the Super League in his first season after rejoining in 2021, faced criticism following a 4-0 defeat to Manchester City in his last match. The club expressed gratitude for Beard's contributions, particularly the team's promotion in 2022, but stated that a change was necessary for future success. Amber Whiteley has been appointed as interim manager while the search for a new permanent coach begins. Liverpool's upcoming match will be against Crystal Palace, who are struggling at the bottom of the league.
