Liverpool Women’s manager Matt Beard has departed with immediate effect, while Amber Whiteley has stepped in as interim boss.

Beard had two spells with Liverpool, winning back-to-back WSL titles in the first and taking them straight back into the top flight in the second.

The LFC Women board told liverpoolfc.com: “We have all experienced some fantastic moments with Matt as manager of LFC Women and we express our gratitude for his significant contribution. Our priority was to return this team to where it belongs and we collectively achieved that in 2022 by winning promotion to the WSL.

“We need to build on that momentum and although this has been a difficult decision, we believe it provides us with the best opportunity for future success on the pitch.”
