Manchester City women were dismissed by manager Gareth Taylor, and former head Nick Cushing returned to take responsibility for the rest of the season.
City game Chelsea in the League Cup final at Wembley on Saturday, but they are out of the Champions League League site.
General Director Charlotte O’Neill said on the official website of the club: “Manchester City is proud of the competition at the top of the WSL at her extraordinary qualifying record for European competition.
“Unfortunately, the results of this season have not reached this high standard so far.
Manchester City women split with the main coach Gareth Taylor.

“Since there are six WSL campaigns left, we believe that change of management will inhale fresh life in our attempt to ensure the qualification for the UEFA Champions League UEFA 2025-26.
“We would like to make gratitude to Gareth for all his efforts during his age in the city. Our triumphs for the FA Cup and League Cup will remain special moments in the history of this football club. We wish him all the best for the future.”
Former City striker Taylor was appointed head of the women’s side in 2020, inherited Cushing and won the FA Cup that year and the 2022 Cup League.
Last season they were WSL winners, they ended up behind Chelsea on a goal-difference on the last day of the campaign.
