Manchester City: Gareth Taylor sacked by Women’s Super League side

Women’s Super League side Manchester City have sacked head coach Gareth Taylor.

The 52-year-old took charge of City in May 2020 and led them to two major honours.

City missed out on last season’s WSL title on goal difference and are currently fourth, 12 points adrift of defending champions Chelsea.

“Manchester City prides itself on competing at the top of the WSL and on its outstanding record of qualifying for European competition,” said managing director Charlotte O’Neill.

“Unfortunately, results this season have so far not reached this high standard.”
