Frenchman led team to promotion from second tier
Hammers set to turn to former Juventus head coach
London City Lionesses have sacked their manager Jocelyn Prêcheur, with the newly-promoted club sitting sixth in the Women’s Super League table.
The Frenchman oversaw London City’s promotion to the WSL last season and has guided them to the top half of the top tier, but the big-spending club are known to be ambitious and their defeat away against Leicester a week ago was their sixth of the season. Prêcheur is the second WSL manager to lose their job in the space of four days, following Rehanne Skinner’s sacking by West Ham on Thursday.
Prêcheur had been in charge of London City since the summer of 2024. He led them to the second-tier title last term during his first season in charge, winning 13 out of 20 Championship matches to pip Birmingham to the title on the final day of the season by a two-point margin.
