Manchester City Women’s Head Coach Gareth Taylor has signed a one-year contract extension at the Academy Stadium.
Embarking on a 16-game unbeaten run in all competitions throughout 2022/23, Taylor’s team reached the semi-finals and quarter finals of the Continental Cup and FA Cup respectively, with Bunny Shaw smashing Nikita Parris’ previous record of goals in a single season for a women’s player with 31 in 30 appearances.
And following the conclusion of the campaign, Taylor has put pen to paper on a one-year extension with the club.
Speaking regarding the news, Taylor said: “I’m very happy to be able to commit to City for another season, and 2023/24 is one that I’m so excited about.
“We have been in a transitional period over the past 12 months, and the women’s game has changed so much during my three years in charge.
“We were fortunate to win trophies in each of my first two seasons, and although we haven’t been successful on that front this past year, the pride I’ve taken has come in different forms.
“I’ve really felt that it has been so enjoyable in terms of where the team is at, where I think that they can go and what they can achieve for this football club.
“I know that there is pressure on us to succeed, but I enjoy that – I have always challenged myself throughout my career and that’s now more important than ever as a coach.
“I really want to try and squeeze every single last drop out of what I feel I’m able to do personally, and I believe that this group of players have the ability to turn those nearly moments into actual moments with the support of myself and the staff to get us to the next level.”
