GLASGOW CITY have formally started their recruitment drive for a new manager 24 hours after Eddie Wolecki-Black’s departure.

The Scottish champions announced yesterday that Wolecki-Black, who joined City back in 2007, left the club by mutual consent.

It signalled the end of an era of domination for a side that has won the SWPL for the last eight years and even made it into the Champions League quarter-finals back in March.

A statement from Glasgow City read: “Following the recent announcement of the departure Eddie Wolecki Black, Glasgow City invite applications for the position of Head Coach.

“Glasgow City are Scotland's most successful women's team of all time and are currently ranked 8th in this season's upcoming UEFA Women's Champions League.

“The Scottish Women's Football season is now at the mid-point, with a short 4 week recess before commencing again on 26th July. City currently sit top of the SWPL table on goal difference and are through to the third round of the Scottish Cup, with the League Cup already secured last month.

“Applications are invited from UEFA Pro-Licence holders, although strong A Licence candidates will also be considered.”

Meanwhile, Wolecki-Black is expected to be announced as boss of French Academy side Edusport at some point today.
