Crystal Palace confirm departure of head coach Laura Kaminski | OneFootball

Crystal Palace have confirmed that head coach Laura Kaminski has departed the WSL strugglers with immediate effect.

The Eagles are facing the prospect of immediate relegation back to the Women's Championship after winning just one game all season and are four points adrift at the bottom of the table.

Appointed as Palace's head coach in the summer of 2023, Kaminski led the club into the top flight for the first time in their history but has struggled to maintain the momentum in what is a highly competitive WSL.

Addressing Kaminski's sacking in a club statement, Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish said: "This has been an extremely difficult decision for the club to take. Laura has made a fantastic impact since arriving in the summer of 2023, getting the club promoted to the WSL for the first time in its history.

"Laura has given her all, on and off the pitch, and she leaves here with all of our thanks and best wishes for the future."

The club have provided no further information on who will take on the head coach responsibilities heading into this weekend's WSL clash with Liverpool, who are also on the lookout for a new head coach after dispensing with the services of Matt Beard.
