Leicester City Women’s team has terminated the contract of their first-team manager, Willie Kirk, for breaching the team’s code of conduct. Kirk’s last match was a 4-0 defeat to Chelsea, after which an internal process began, leading to his dismissal.
Assistant coach Jennifer Foster and first-team coach Stephen Kirby have been managing the team in Kirk’s absence, guiding them to a 2-0 victory in the FA Cup quarter-final. Kirk’s departure comes amidst allegations of a relationship with a player, although details have not been disclosed.
Leicester City confirmed Kirk’s dismissal after an extensive internal disciplinary process. Foster and Kirby will continue to lead the team until a permanent replacement is appointed.
