Following the termination of Matt Beard's employment on Thursday, concluding his second tenure with the club, Amber Whiteley, the interim manager of Liverpool Football Club, has expressed her desire to secure the permanent managerial position.

This appointment marks Ms. Whiteley's second interim period, having previously served in this capacity from January to the conclusion of the 2021 season, subsequent to the departure of Vicky Jepson.

Whiteley anticipates leading the team at minimum until the end of the current season and has articulated her aspiration to obtain the full-time managerial role.

UEFA has imposed a ban on referee David Coote in connection with a video related to Euro 2024.

"I intend to submit my application," she stated. "The recruitment process has already commenced."

"When such opportunities arise, it is imperative to demonstrate one's capabilities. It is particularly important for female coaches to do so."

"The departure of a manager invariably elicits mixed emotions. It is never an easy situation."

Ms. Whiteley, who recently assumed an additional role as assistant to Carla Ward with the Republic of Ireland women's national team, believes her prior experience has better prepared her for this opportunity.

During her previous interim period, when Liverpool competed in the Championship, Ms. Whiteley guided the team to a third-place finish, achieving five victories in nine league matches.

"The most significant takeaway from my previous interim position was the affirmation of my ability to perform the duties of the role," she stated.

"Having worked alongside and under Matt Beard, I am now in a significantly stronger position. I am better equipped to lead the team forward."

"I am deeply grateful to Matt for the guidance he has provided me over the past three-plus years. I will miss him."

Liverpool currently occupies seventh position in the Women's Super League, with eight league matches remaining, and is scheduled to face Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-finals next weekend.
