Liverpool on Thursday sacked manager Matt Beard following a poor run in the Women’s Super League.

The Reds finished fourth in the WSL last season but are currently seventh in the table after just four wins in 14 games.

Beard won back-to-back top-flight titles with the Reds in 2013 and 2014 and returned for a second spell in charge in May 2021.

In his first season back at the helm he oversaw promotion to the WSL.

His second reign ended with a 4-0 defeat to Manchester City.

“We have all experienced some fantastic moments with Matt as manager of LFC Women and we express our gratitude for his significant contribution,” Liverpool said in a statement.

“Our priority was to return this team to where it belongs and we collectively achieved that in 2022 by winning promotion to the WSL.
