West Ham sack manager Skinner after one win in 11

West Ham have sacked head coach Rehanne Skinner after winning only one of their opening 11 Women's Super League games this season.

The Hammers, who are second from bottom, drew 2-2 at home to bottom club Liverpool on Sunday.

A West Ham statement read: "Recent results have not matched expectations and the board of directors believe that a change is necessary."

Skinner joined West Ham in July 2023, four months after being sacked by Tottenham.

West Ham finished second from bottom in 2023-24 and ninth last season.

The club said the process to find Skinner's replacement is under way.

West Ham face Manchester City in the Women's League Cup quarter-final on Sunday before taking on reigning WSL champions Chelsea on 11 January.
