Newcastle United Women have today announced that the side has parted ways with manager Becky Langley.
The development comes just a day after her team held Manchester City to a very creditable 3-3 draw in the Subway League Cup, before losing the shootout in sudden death.
The club posted the following statement on newcastleunited.com:
Becky has played a significant role in the club’s rise since being appointed in 2019, achieving back-to-back promotions to take the team from the fourth tier to Women’s Super League 2.
She was at the helm as Newcastle United Women turned fully professional in 2023, becoming the first third-tier side to do so, and led the team during its first ever matches at St. James’ Park.
After ending their first season in WSL2 with a fifth-place finish, Newcastle United Women currently sit ninth in the table after six matches of the current campaign.
