West Ham Ladies step up search for new Head Coach

West Ham United Ladies are actively seeking a new Head Coach ahead of what will hopefully be a hugely important period for the Club.

The Hammers Ladies are bidding for a place in the FA Women’s Super League (WSL) when the elite level of the women’s game in England restructures ahead of the 2018/19 season and are looking for the coach to continue to take the Club forward.

Having progressed to the latter stages of both the FA Women’s Premier League Plate and Isthmian League Cup this season, there is also silverware to play for in the short term, so Ladies Managing Director Jack Sullivan is sure an exciting future awaits for the Club.

He said: “We are extremely ambitious for the future of West Ham United Ladies and as such we are conducting an extensive and diligent search for our new head coach, who will share our ambitions and vision for the Ladies team.

“I believe it is important that we take our time in appointing our new Head Coach. This is an appointment for the long-term and It is vital we bring in the right individual, so we are working closely with our partners in women’s football, including the FA, to help us get a world class Head Coach.

“Everything at the Club is geared towards taking us to the elite of the women’s game, from the training facilities at Rush Green to the help and support of all the departments at West Ham, so this is an important appointment for us to ensure our development on the pitch continues to move forward.”

Ladies General Manager Karen Ray added: “The Club has taken huge strides forward both on and off the pitch over the last 18 months and now we are looking to take the next step as we await the decision on the WSL restructure.

“We have a highly-professional set up, through all elements of the Club, and with the full support of every department within we pride ourselves on establishing a solid infrastructure for long term success. 

“It is an exciting time for West Ham United Ladies and that will be reflected in our robust recruiting process.”
