Birmingham City relieved Scott Booth of his duties following the 4-0 home defeat to West Ham in the FA Women’s Continental League Cup.

General Manager, Sarah Westwood told bcfc.com: “This decision was not an easy one but has been made in the best interests of the Football Club.

“I know how determined Scott was to succeed but, unfortunately, results have fallen short of our expectations.

“With 15 games remaining, we feel now is the right time to make a change to give ourselves the best possible chance of climbing the table.

“Scott joined the Club at a difficult time and was tasked with building a squad capable of competing in the BFAWSL. We are grateful to Scott for assembling a group of players who we believe are good enough to start picking up points.

“The challenge now is to ensure that we identify the right person to lead Birmingham City Women and get the best out of our players.”

Assistant Head Coach, Tony Elliott, will take charge of the team for Sunday’s trip to Chelsea.
