Manchester City head coach Gareth Taylor has signed a one-year contract extension with the club for the 2023/2024 season.
FAWSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from Manchester City this morning.
Taylor has been in charge at The Academy Stadium for the last three seasons. He has guided the club to success in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup and in the FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup so far. The target will now be to add to those two past trophy victories with the Barclays Women’s Super League title and long overdue European success topping the club’s wanted list.
After signing on with The Cityzens for another season, Taylor said “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 2023/2024 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.”
Taylor will be hopeful of seeing his side lift some silverware in 2023/2024, especially with little change in personnel expected at the club this summer.
