Liverpool FC Women have announced that Gareth Taylor has been appointed as the team’s new head coach.
The 52-year-old joins the Reds with a wealth of Barclays Women’s Super League experience and a history of winning trophies in the women’s game.
Taylor left Manchester City in March after a five-year spell in charge that included triumphs in the Women’s FA Cup and League Cup, as well as runner-up finishes in the WSL, missing out only on goal difference in 2023-24.
Taylor told liverpoolfc.com: “I am delighted to have been appointed as Liverpool’s new head coach. Everyone in football knows about the history, size and potential of this club, and I am really looking forward to the task ahead.
“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.”
Managing director Andy O’Boyle said: “This has been a very detailed process and it was clear that Gareth was the outstanding candidate. He has a proven track record of building successful, identity-driven teams and his ability to develop players and help them reach the next level is second to none.
“We have a very clear vision of how we will return LFC Women to the upper echelons of the game and this is a crucial step on that journey.”
