London City Lionesses have sacked manager Jocelyn Precheur midway through their debut Women’s Super League season.
It is understood the club have a replacement lined up for Precheur, who guided London City to promotion in 2024-25.
Players and staff were informed of the decision on Sunday.
It is believed the club have not made the decision based on results but with the view to changing their plans for the long term, and they do not see the Frenchman as the right manager to guide them through the next stage of their development.
It comes as a shock, as London City sit in sixth place with five wins from their first 11 matches.
Precheur, 43, who joined London City in 2024 from Paris St-Germain, has been part of the club during a period of major investment by ambitious multi-club owner Michele Kang.
