Taylor signs Man City Women extension

Gareth Taylor has signed a one-year contract extension with Manchester City Women.

Taylor - whose deal was due to expire at the end of June - was initially appointed in May 2020 and won his first trophy soon after with victory over Everton in the Women's FA Cup final

Man City have also won the Conti Cup in March 2022 under Taylor's leadership, beating Chelsea 3-1, as well as reaching the FA Cup final in the same season. However, they were beaten by the Blues at Wembley on that occasion.

However, despite a 16-game unbeaten run during the 2022/23 campaign, Man City missed out on Champions League football, finishing fourth in the WSL behind Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. They also reached the semi-finals and quarter finals of the Conti Cup and FA Cup respectively.

After signing his new deal, Taylor told the club's official website: "I'm very happy to have signed a new deal with the Club - it feels great to have gotten it over the line.

"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.
