Women's manager Sherwood leaves Swansea City

Jamie Sherwood has left his position as first-team manager of Swansea City Women.

Sherwood, who was appointed in May 2024, leaves by mutual consent with the club fifth in the Adran Premier table with four games remaining.

Swansea were Welsh league champions in 2020, 2021 and 2022 and runners-up to Cardiff City for the past two seasons.

However, defeat to Wrexham in the final phase one game of the current campaign saw them miss out on a place in the Championship Conference.

Assistant manager Yzzy Taylor will assume the role of caretaker head coach on an interim basis.

Swansea's men's side also have an interim head coach, with Alan Sheehan in temporary charge of the Championship side following the departure last month of Luke Williams.

Sherwood previously managed Yeovil in the Women's Super League, leading them to promotion from the English second tier.

He has also had spells working for the Football Association of Wales (FAW), Cardiff City Ladies and Cardiff City Women.

His final game in charge was Sunday's 2-1 victory at Cardiff Met which ended a six-game winless streak.

Swansea are seven points clear of Barry Town United at the top of the Plate Conference which also includes Aberystwyth Town.

Interim boss Taylor also joined the Swans last summer, having spent 11 years as a player and coach with Cardiff Met where she won six league titles as well as three Welsh Cups and three Adran Trophy successes.

The 31-year-old is also a part of the Wales Women Under-19s' coaching team, a role she will continue alongside her duties with Swansea.
