Manchester United has confirmed that head coach Marc Skinner has left the club by mutual consent, one month before the start of the Women’s Super League (WSL) season. The 43-year-old, who took charge of the women’s team in 2019, will depart after five years in charge, marking the end of a tenure that included significant achievements for the club (independent.ie).
Skinner’s exit comes as the club prepares for the new season, with the Women’s Super League set to begin in late August. His departure was announced by mutual agreement, with no immediate details on his future plans (yen.com.gh). During his time at the club, Skinner guided Manchester United to their first major trophy with the 2024 Women’s FA Cup victory and made progress in the Champions League (leadership.ng).
The club has not yet named a replacement for Skinner, leaving the team with one month to find a new coach. This transition follows a period of stability and success under Skinner’s leadership, which saw the team consistently compete at the top of the WSL table (winnipegfreepress.com). The search for a new head coach is expected to be a key focus during the upcoming transfer window.
