Liverpool Women's Team Parts Ways with Matt Beard

Liverpool Women's Football Club has terminated its contract with manager Matt Beard. Although Beard previously led the club to back-to-back promotions, this season's performance has not met expectations. Amber White will serve as interim manager as Liverpool searches for Beard's replacement.

Liverpool Women's Football Club has parted ways with manager Matt Beard, according to an announcement from the Women's Super League team on Thursday. The decision follows a season in which the team sits seventh in the standings, having secured only four wins from 14 matches.

Beard, aged 47, had rejoined Liverpool in 2021 and quickly led the club back to the Super League by securing titles in his first season. He was appreciated for his role in the club's return to prominence but failed to replicate past success this year.

The club expressed gratitude for Beard's contributions, noting the team's 2022 promotion as a high point. Amber White is set to take over managerial duties on an interim basis while the club seeks a new permanent coach. Liverpool will next face Crystal Palace following a 4-0 loss to Manchester City.
