[Sports]Leicester sack Willie Kirk after investigation into alleged relationship with player

[-HuNTeR-]

Leicester have sacked their women’s team manager, Willie Kirk, after an investigation into an alleged relationship with a player.

The WSL club said he “was determined to have breached the team’s code of conduct to a degree that makes his position untenable”.

The Guardian revealed on 8 March that Kirk had been suspended 

The manager was then absent from the team’s 2-0 defeat of Liverpool, which earned them a place in the FA Cup semi-finals, where they will play Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 14 April, with Jennifer Foster in charge, supported by first-team coach Stephen Kirby.

They have since lost the two league games they have played, a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham and 3-2 loss against Brighton.
