MANCHESTER, England, Aug 3 : Manchester United women's head coach Marc Skinner has left the club by mutual agreement, the team said on Monday, ending a five-year spell in charge weeks before the start of the new season.
Skinner, 43, took over in 2021 and had one year remaining on his contract. United open the Women's Super League season at London City on September 4.
"Marc Skinner has departed his role as head coach of Manchester United Women by mutual agreement," the club said in a statement.
"Marc leaves having made a significant contribution to the continued progress of Manchester United Women. The club places on record its sincere thanks for his professionalism, commitment and dedication throughout his time at United, and wishes him every success in the future."
