WSL SIDE, MAN CITY, SACK COACH TAYLOR

Women's Super League side Manchester City have sacked their head coach, Gareth Taylor.

52-year-old Taylor took charge of City in May 2020 and led them to two major honours.

However, City missed out on last season's WSL title on goal difference and are currently fourth, 12 points adrift of defending champions Chelsea.

The 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."
