Rick Passmoor has been appointed as Leicester City Women manager on a permanent basis following a successful spell as interim boss.
He has signed a contract to the summer of 2028, after an impressive spell which has seen the team take points from both Liverpool and Everton in recent weeks.
Director of Women’s and Girls’ Football, Lee Billiard said: “Rick has made a really positive impact since stepping into the role. His knowledge of the game, calm leadership and commitment to developing players have all been evident from the start. The team and staff have responded well to his approach, and we’re excited to continue building under his guidance.”
Speaking to LCFC.com, Passmoor said: “I am very privileged and very honoured to be at this Football Club. I want to ensure we continue to progress and further establish ourselves in the WSL..
“This is a proud Football Club with proud fans and a fantastic Board of Directors. There’s history on the men’s side, and we want to make sure we leave a legacy with LCFC Women.”
Passmoor brings more than two decades of experience within women’s and men’s football to Belvoir Drive, having previously held senior roles with Leeds United, Lincoln City Ladies, and Notts County Women.
Most recently, he spent two successful years with fellow WSL side West Ham United as Assistant Manager, where he helped the Hammers achieve their highest-ever points total and most home wins in a single season.
