Liverpool Women's Super League team parts ways with manager Matt Beard, seeking a new direction for future success.

Liverpool Women's Super League (WSL) team has announced the departure of manager Matt Beard, marking the end of an era for the club. Beard, who led Liverpool to consecutive WSL titles during his first tenure, has been instrumental in the team's recent successes, including their promotion back to the WSL in 2022.

Despite achieving significant milestones under Beard's leadership, the club has decided to make a change, citing the need to build on the current momentum and secure future success on the pitch.

  • Second Spell (2021-2023): Guided the team to promotion from the Championship to the WSL in 2022.

In a club statement, Liverpool expressed their gratitude for Beard's contributions: "We have all experienced some fantastic moments with Matt as manager of LFC Women and we express our gratitude for his significant contribution."

As the team looks ahead, the focus will be on stabilizing their position in the WSL and competing for higher honors. The decision to part ways with Beard underscores the club's ambition to elevate their standing in women's football.
