Liverpool have named former Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor as their new head coach.

The Reds have been without a permanent manager since sacking Matt Beard in February, with Amber Whiteley taking charge on an interim basis for the remainder of 2024-25.

Taylor was sacked by City in March just five days before the Women’s League Cup final.

“Everyone in football knows about the history, size and potential of this club, and I am really looking forward to the task ahead,” Taylor said.

“Our aim is to create a team that supporters can be proud of, which plays good football and which will hopefully bring success along the way.”

The Welshman began working with City’s academy in 2011 and was appointed head coach in 2020.

He won the FA Cup during his first season and led the club to League Cup glory in 2022, while his side missed out on the Women’s Super League (WSL) title on goal difference in 2023-24.
