Birmingham City Women’s head coach, Carla Ward, will leave her position at the end of the season after the club accepted her resignation.
Ward took over as Head Coach in August of last year and in her first campaign managing in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League, secured Blues’ top-flight status with an 11th-place finish.
Blues General Manager Sarah Westwood told bcfc.com: “I would like to put on record my thanks to Carla for her efforts and dedication to the position throughout the season.
“It has been a challenging year given the absence of Bluenoses from any of our fixtures, with Carla galvanising the players and staff to achieve what nobody outside of the Football Club deemed possible.”

“I know how much harder this is. In fact, it’s my favourite title because of the threats this year – the investment from City, Arsenal, Man United, Everton. For us to sustain our level just shows the quality of the group of players I’ve got.”
