Yzzy Taylor appointed head coach of Swansea City Women

Swansea City is delighted to confirm Yzzy Taylor as head coach of our Women’s team for the 2025-26 season.

Taylor joined the club as assistant head coach last summer, and led the side in an interim capacity following the departure of Jamie Sherwood.

Under her guidance, the Swans enjoyed an unbeaten finish to the Genero Adran Premier season, ultimately securing a fifth-place finish.

The vastly-experienced Taylor previously spent 11 years as a player and coach with Cardiff Met Women, and was named the Welsh top-flight’s manager of the season for the 2021-22 campaign after securing a runners-up spot.

Across her time with the club, Taylor helped the Archers to six league titles, three Welsh Cups and three Adran Trophy successes.

Taylor is also part of the Wales Women Under-19s’ coaching team, and she will continue to fulfil that role alongside her duties with the Swans.

New head coach, Yzzy Taylor, said: "I'm delighted to become the new head coach of Swansea City.  I'm keen to carry the momentum from the end of last season into the next campaign. This squad is strong, and I have full confidence in every player to improve and develop ahead of next year's campaign. The hard work starts now."

Swansea City CEO, Tom Gorringe, commented: “We're delighted that Yzzy has committed to the Swans. Since she took over as caretaker head coach, we've been on a great run and we're excited to see how the team, under her leadership, can improve next season."

Chloe Bull, football operations and administrator for Swansea City Women, added: "The way the team has been playing under Yzzy has been superb, we’ve been scoring lots of goals and been difficult for teams to play against. It was an easy decision to make Yzzy the head coach. The players clearly love playing for her, and she’s finished the season with five wins which is brilliant.”
