LONDON City Lionesses have named Lisa Fallon as first-team head coach, with Melissa Phillips taking over the role of assistant coach.
The Women’s Championship side formed last summer, breaking away from Millwall Lionesses, and were fourth in the league when the season ended earlier this week — 14 points off leaders Aston Villa.
Former manager Chris Phillips was sacked six games into the season, despite winning four, with head of player development John Bayer taking over in the interim.
