Miquel sacked by Leicester ahead of WSL season

Leicester have sacked manager Amandine Miquel, with assistant manager Amaury Messuwe also leaving with immediate effect.

Miquel was appointed ahead of the 2024-25 season and guided Leicester to a 10th-place finish in the Women’s Super League.

Despite leading the Foxes to their best finish to date — earning 20 points from 22 matches and finishing 10 points ahead of relegated Crystal Palace, Leicester opted to make a change in leadership, electing for a new direction as they prepare for the upcoming season.

Leicester will begin their new WSL campaign against Manchester United on September 7 before fixtures against Liverpool and Chelsea.

We can confirm that we have decided to part company with Manager Amandine Miquel and Assistant Manager Amaury Messuwe.

“The squad continues its preparations under the wider coaching team ahead of the new WSL campaign, while we will provide a further update once the process of appointing a new LCFC Women’s Manager has been concluded.”
