MANCHESTER, England :Gareth Taylor has been appointed head coach of Liverpool's women's team, the club announced on Friday, five months after being sacked by Manchester City.

The 52-year-old coached City for five years, leading them to FA Cup and League Cup triumphs, and a narrow second-place finish to Chelsea in the Women's Super League in 2024 that was decided by goal difference.

But he was fired by City in March, just five days before their League Cup final against Chelsea, with the club citing the team's underperformance.

City went on to finish fourth in the WSL this past season while Liverpool were seventh.
