🍸Beard returned for a second spell with the Reds in 2021, having led them to two WSL titles during his first stint at the helm between 2012 and 2015.
🐼Upon returning, Beard immediately led Liverpool to promotion back to the WSL, then established them in the top flight with finishes of seventh and fourth.
💮But they have failed to kick on this season with a 4-0 defeat to Manchester City on February 16 leaving them seventh.
🐬In a club statement, Liverpool thanked Beard for his service and said Amber Whiteley will take over as interim manager while a permanent successor is sought.
𒈔"We have all experienced some fantastic moments with Matt as manager of LFC Women and we express our gratitude for his significant contribution," a club statement said
ꦫ"Our priority was to return this team to where it belongs and we collectively achieved that in 2022 by winning promotion to the WSL.
⛦"We need to build on that momentum and although this has been a difficult decision, we believe it provides us with the best opportunity for future success on the pitch."
🥃Beard recorded a win percentage of 37.93 in the WSL across his second spell in charge, claiming victories in 22 of his 58 games in the competition.
﷽Liverpool visit Crystal Palace in the WSL on Sunday, before facing Arsenal in the Women's FA Cup quarter-finals one week later.
