Marc Skinner has parted ways with Manchester United Women, bringing an end to his five-year stint as head coach. Despite signing a new two-year contract last summer, Skinner has decided to leave the club.
During his time at the helm, Skinner led the team to three consecutive Women's FA Cup finals, securing the trophy in 2024, which marked the club's first major honor. The team also finished as Women's Super League runners-up in 2023 and reached the Champions League quarter-finals and League Cup final last season. A statement from the club expressed gratitude for Skinner's contributions, commitment, and dedication, wishing him success in the future. Skinner's departure comes just over a month before the team's first WSL game against London City Lionesses on September 4.
The club is expected to announce a new head coach soon, with a focus on developing homegrown players and adopting a more exciting style of football.
