Manchester City Women dismissed head coach Gareth Taylor just days before a crucial League Cup final. This decision follows a disappointing season where the team currently ranks fourth in the Women's Super League, lagging behind leaders Chelsea. Interim manager Nick Cushing will replace Taylor, with a focus on securing a Champions League spot and contending for three cup competitions. The club's managing director emphasized the need for a management change to rejuvenate the squad's championship ambitions, while thanking Taylor for his past contributions and successes at the club.
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 UEFA Women's Champions League.
The club's decision was based on performances and a feeling that making a change would give the team a better chance of achieving their goals for the rest of the season.
Manchester City prides itself on competing at the top of the WSL and on its outstanding record of qualifying for European competition, which has been a disappointing standard this season.
We would like to place on record our thanks to Gareth for all of his efforts... Our FA Cup and League Cup triumphs will remain special moments in the history of this football club.
