LIVERPOOL have sacked manager Matt Beard, it was reported today.

The Reds impressively finished fourth in the Women’s Super League last season but sit seventh this term after just four wins in 14 games.

Beard won back-to-back WSL titles with the Reds in 2013 and 2014 and returned for a second spell in charge in May 2021.
