Manchester City Women have dismissed head coach Gareth Taylor with just five days until their League Cup final against Chelsea. The club's managing director, Charlotte O'Neill, noted that the team's performance in the Women's Super League (WSL) has been inadequate, currently sitting fourth and trailing the leaders by 12 points. This decision comes as they aim to qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League. Nick Cushing has been appointed to lead for the remainder of the season, with gratitude expressed for Taylor's contributions during his tenure.
Manchester City Women have sacked head coach Gareth Taylor just five days before their League Cup final match against Chelsea, the club confirmed on Monday.
City managing director Charlotte O'Neill thanked Taylor for his service to the club, but said results had not been good enough, with the side fourth in the Women's Super League (WSL), 12 points behind leaders Chelsea.
With six games of the WSL campaign remaining, we believe that a change of management will breathe fresh life into our bid to ensure qualification for the 2025-26 UEFA Women's Champions League.
We would like to place on record our thanks to Gareth for all of his efforts during his many years at City. Our FA Cup and League Cup triumphs will remain special moments in the history of this football club.
