Liverpool Women in Talks with Former Man City Boss Gareth Taylor

News summary

Gareth Taylor, the former Manchester City Women’s head coach, is the leading candidate to become Liverpool Women’s new manager following Matt Beard's departure in February. Taylor, who managed Manchester City for nearly five years, won the FA Cup in 2020 and the League Cup in 2022, and narrowly missed out on the WSL title in 2024, finishing second on goal difference behind Chelsea. Despite his success, Taylor was a divisive figure at City and was sacked in March 2025 while the club was fourth in the league. Liverpool Women, two-time WSL champions, finished seventh in the 2024-25 season and are seeking consistent improvement to compete again with the league's elite. Interim manager Amber Whiteley has been in charge since Beard's exit, but Liverpool have been in talks with Taylor to reach personal terms for a permanent appointment. Taylor’s experience at the top of the WSL is seen as a key asset to help Liverpool climb back into title contention and retain key players amid concerns over squad departures.
