Club announced death of manager on Saturday
Beard left Reds in February and won two WSL titles
Liverpool have postponed their Women’s Super League fixture against Aston Villa following the death of their former manager Matt Beard on Saturday. Beard, who had two spells in charge of Liverpool, left the club in February.
Beard won back-to-back WSL titles with the Reds in 2013 and 2014 during his first spell and rejoined the club in 2021 following stints with Boston Breakers in the US, West Ham and Bristol City. He guided Liverpool to promotion back to the WSL in his first season back at the helm and remained in charge until February.
The club announced the death of the 47-year-old late on Saturday in a statement and confirmed on Sunday morning that their match against Aston Villa would not go ahead.
