Crystal Palace Women sack manager Laura Kaminski amid poor start

Crystal Palace Women have parted ways with head coach Laura Kaminski, who led the team to their first-ever promotion to the Women's Super League (WSL) in the summer of 2023. Despite this historic achievement, the team struggled in the top flight, winning only one game and sitting at the bottom of the league, four points from safety. Chairman Steve Parish described the decision to let Kaminski go as 'extremely difficult', acknowledging her significant impact on the club. Kaminski's departure follows Liverpool's sacking of their head coach Matt Beard, making it the second WSL managerial change in 24 hours. As both teams prepare to face each other in their upcoming match, Palace has not yet announced her replacement. Kaminski had previously worked with several clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, contributing to her distinguished coaching career.
