Liverpool manager Matt Beard has signed a contract extension with the club ahead of the new season.
The Reds announced the news via a post on their official club website earlier today.
Beard is in his second spell as Liverpool manager after previously taking charge of the club between 2012 and 2015. He returned to Liverpool in 2021 and guided the Merseysiders to the Barclays Women’s Championship title in his first season back at the club. The Reds followed up their title success with a solid campaign in the Barclays Women’s Super League last season.
Liverpool are rebuilding their women’s section piece-by-piece as the club plot the return of the glory days and manager Beard will continue to lead the project for an extended period.
After signing his new deal, Beard said “I’m delighted. Obviously everyone knows what the club means to me, so it was an easy decision really for me to extend my stay here.
“I think we’re [at the] early stages of a big project and you’ve really got the future to look forward to.
“I’m excited for the future of the team because I think we’ve got a good group here, a good young group as well that can grow.”
Liverpool and Beard will be hoping to start the new season with a big result when they travel to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal on Sunday 1 October.
