Man City women are shared with Gareth Taylor after five years, and Nick Cushing has been appointed a temporary main trainer | Football news
Manchester City split with Chief Coach Gareth Taylor.
Taylor’s departure comes the day after led by his side to the quarterfinal victory of the FA Cup 2-0 against Aston Villa to set up a semi-final against the owner of Manchester United.
City sits the fourth in the women’s super league, one point behind the third -ranked Arsenal who played more game, but 12 behind Chelsea champions.
The 52-year-old was in charge of the club from 2020 and led City to the victory of the FA Cup that year and the success of the 2022 Cup League. Under Taylor, City missed the title of WSL 2023/24 Chelsea on goal.
On Saturday, City took over Chelsea in the Women’s Cup final to start running of four games against undefeated WSL tables in 12 days.
Ex-Man City Women Coach Nick Cushing will manage Taylor in a temporary basis by the end of the season.
Sky Sports News She realizes that he is not expected that Cushing will remain as head of women in the city city outside the current season, and is expected that the club will look for a new manager this summer.
After leaving the New York City FC, Cushing sought to evaluate his next steps in managing outside the city football group before Man City approached him.
It is understood that they were the only side in the women’s game that Cushing would think about joining, but his long -term goal remains to test new challenges outside the short -term stay in Man City.
City Explain Taylor Exit
In a statement from the club, General Director Charlotte O’Neil said: “Manchester City is proud of the competition at the top of the WSL at the extraordinary qualifying record for European competition.
“Unfortunately, the results of this season have not reached this high standard so far.
“With six other WSL campaigns, we believe that change of management will inhale fresh life in our endeavor to ensure the qualification for the female Champions League 2025/26.
“We would like to record gratitude to Gareth for all his efforts during his age in City. Our FA Cup triumph and League Cup will remain special moments in the history of this football club.”
The temporary Cushing was the city boss during their first WSL season of 2014, which led them to the only victory in the title two years later.
He also led a team in the FA Cup and two successes in the 2020 league Cup to work in men’s football at New York City FC, where he has been a major coach for the last two seasons before being discharged in November.
Analysis: A curious time moment leaves Man City with more problems to solve
Sky Sports’ Laura Hunter:
The way Gareth Taylor Manchester City is raved all the help. Maybe the right decision, but with an extremely questionable time. Two WSL leaders – Matt Beard (Liverpool) and Laura Kaminski (Crystal Palace) – received Chop in the latest international break, which is certainly less devastating than the change of five days from the Cup League final?
City enters the decisive period, one that will be defined in four games against Chelsea. Winning the ruling champions Sonia Bompastor is once a big endeavor, but through four meetings in three differences of competitions, they will occupy a monumental and well -thought -out tactical game plan, it would be weekly in the preparation.
Probably Taylor worked with his players on ideas. Probably training and tactical meetings were directed to this exact period. And now Nick Cushing – Which City fans will not forget, he suddenly stayed abruptly in the middle of the season in January 2020. – She has to pick up a stick and sprint with her.
There is no doubt that the results were not good enough this season. The performances were also much less consistent, while Chloe Kelly’s debacle (which left a loan for Arsenal) felt symptomaticly more bigger problems with Taylor’s solving relationship. But assume that Cushing can bring a huge increase with so little time to do it, it is a really huge part.
Analysis: The city was not good enough under Taylor
Sky Sports News’ Anton Toloui:
“This is not the decision the club wanted to make with regard to Taylor’s time and stand at the club, but this is a job with the results, and Manchester City was not good enough.
“With a team on the track to miss the Champions League football for the second time in three seasons, it was felt that it was necessary to take an action.
“Manchester City failed to win the WSL under Taylor’s rule, with only one FA Cup and one league Cup they added to the cabinet for almost five years at the club.
“The club also renewed the side during Taylor’s term, allowing players with big names, including Keira Walsh, Georgia Stanway and Lucy Bronze, to make it easier to change the direction under the supervision of former Wales.
“Now City turn to the only man to train them for the success of WSL Nick Nick Cushing, who was still an employee of the city group after being released by their MLS Side Nycfc in December.
“With four games in three competitions over 12 days against Chelsea, starting with the Saturday Cup League final, the club clearly hopes that Cushing will quickly retrieve his sense of winning in big matches and silver products.”
