LCFC said: 'Willie was determined to have breached the team’s code of conduct to a degree that makes his position untenable'
Leicester City have sacked manager Willie Kirk following an investigation into an allegation he had a relationship with a player.
In a statement, Leicester City Football Club said: "Following an extensive internal disciplinary process and respecting the Club’s obligations to individual privacy, Willie was determined to have breached the team’s code of conduct to a degree that makes his position untenable. "Established and implemented ahead of the start of the current season, the code forms part of the Club’s ongoing commitment to professionalising the women’s game since the takeover of LCFC Women in 2020, promoting a performance-led culture among players, coaches and technical staff.
"First Team responsibilities for LCFC Women will continue to be led by Jennifer Foster, supported by Stephen Kirby, while the Club begins the process of appointing a new permanent manager."
