Rangers Women Manager Jo Potter Resigns After Two Seasons

Jo Potter, the women's manager for Rangers, has left the club after two successful seasons marked by domestic cup doubles but heartbreakingly missing out on the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) title on the final day twice. Despite having a contract until 2026, Rangers reluctantly allowed her departure, with compensation due from an unnamed Women's Super League club interested in her services. Potter, a former England international with 35 caps and a two-decade playing career at clubs including Arsenal, Birmingham, and Everton, began her managerial career at Rangers after retiring in 2021. Her teams came close to league glory, leading the table before losing out to Celtic and later to Hibs in critical final matches. The club is now searching for a new women's team manager, coinciding with the recent appointment of Russell Martin as the men's head coach. Meanwhile, Celtic's Elina Sadiku, after a mixed season, has taken a notable role in Swedish TV's coverage of the Women's Euros, showcasing the increasing profile of women's football coaching talent in the region.
