Official club announcement – Newcastle United announce they have sacked manager of the Women’s team

The club making an official announcement (see below) on Monday afternoon about the departure of Becky Langley.

Not the greatest surprise after the club had heavily invested in the team for the huge opportunity this season.

With the Women’s Super League expanding, it meant two clubs and not one would be automatically promoted from the second tier.

Plus, the club that finished third in the second tier would play off with the bottom Super League club, for a possible third club to get promoted.

Despite the heavy investment, Newcastle United Women have only won one of six league games so far and lie ninth of twelve in the table.

Newcastle United Women are already seven points off the automatic promotion places.

‘Newcastle United Women can announce that it has parted ways with manager Becky Langley.

Becky has played a significant role in the club’s rise since being appointed in 2019, achieving back-to-back promotions to take the team from the fourth tier to Women’s Super League 2.

She was at the helm as Newcastle United Women turned fully professional in 2023, becoming the first third-tier side to do so, and led the team during its first ever matches at St. James’ Park.

After ending their first season in WSL2 with a fifth-place finish, Newcastle United Women currently sit ninth in the table after six matches of the current campaign.
