A number of Women’s Super League managers have condemned coach-player relationships in football with Aston Villa’s Carla Ward calling it “unacceptable” and Jonas Eidevall saying it is “very inappropriate”.
Their comments were made in the wake of Leicester launching an investigation into an alleged relationship between the manager, Willie Kirk, and one of his players. Last month Sheffield United sacked Jonathan Morgan for an alleged relationship with a player during his time at Leicester, before the club was professional and affiliated with the men’s side.
