Liverpool Women have appointed Niamh Fahey as their first technical co-ordinator, the former Reds’ captain having retired at the end of last season.
A Republic of Ireland centurion who played at the 2023 World Cup, Fahey also made over 100 appearances for Liverpool, as well as spells at Arsenal, Chelsea and Bordeaux.
She recently completed a master’s degree in business administration (MBA), as well as completing her UEFA B coaching licence.
Liverpool FC’s chief financial officer and LFC Women board member Jenny Beacham told liverpoolfc.com: “This is a key appointment for our women’s programme and I’m absolutely delighted that we have someone with Niamh’s knowledge, experience and leadership back in the building.
“She will be a significant support to our managing director Andy O’Boyle as we continue growing and executing a long-term football strategy for our women’s team.”
Managing director Andy O’Boyle added: “I’m thrilled that Niamh agreed to take on what will be an extremely important position within our women’s staff, elevating our sporting standards and contributing to the long-term development of the women’s programme.
“She will be a highly visible presence and involved in collaboration across our wider FSG football executive, maintaining alignment with the club’s broader identity, ensuring shared values, philosophy and high-performance levels.
