Manchester United Women head coach Marc Skinner is stepping down from his role ahead of the Women’s Super League season. Multiple outlets report that Skinner leaves the club after five years in charge. The BBC and other reports place the timing before the start of the WSL season, and several sources say the departure follows a decision by mutual consent. Sky Sports and others note his tenure lasted five years, after he succeeded Casey Stoney in July 2021. During his time at United, the team achieved strong league results, including two top-three finishes in the WSL, according to The Guardian. One outlet also states that under Skinner’s leadership United earned their first qualification for the Women’s Champions League in 2023. Sky and other reports also indicate United finished fourth in the WSL last season, which meant they missed out on European qualification. Further details are expected as the club prepares for the new season.
