Manchester City Women have parted ways with Head Coach Gareth Taylor.
Taylor has a long-standing association with Manchester City, having been both a former player and having undertaken various roles within the boys’ academy prior to joining MCWFC in 2020.
He led our women’s team to FA Cup and League Cup success in 2020 and 2022 respectively, before narrowly missing out on last season’s WSL title on goal difference alone.
Speaking of Taylor’s departure, Managing Director Charlotte O’Neill said: “Manchester City prides itself on competing at the top of the WSL and on its outstanding record of qualifying for European competition.
“Unfortunately, results this season have so far not reached this high standard.
“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.
“We wish him all the best for the future.”
Former Manchester City Women coach Nick Cushing will succeed Gareth on an interim basis for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.
