Manchester City football club have confirmed they have parted ways with manager Gareth Taylor and have appointed Nick Cushing on an interim basis.
Gareth Taylor was sacked by Man City Women just days before League Cup final as WSL side issued a shock statement revealing reasons for manager’s exit
Taylor departs City with the team currently in fourth place in the WSL table and having just booked a place in the FA Cup semi-finals by beating Aston Villa 2-0.
Manchester City are also due to face Chelsea in the League Cup at the weekend and will also face the Blues in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. However, a statement from the club confirmed the news and added that recent results simply have not been good enough.
Managing Director Charlotte O’Neill said in a statement: “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.
