West Ham have recorded just one win in the 2025/26 season, a run of results that led to the dismissal of the head coach.

  • Rehanne Skinner has been sacked as manager of West Ham United Women, with the club second-bottom of the Women’s Super League (WSL) during the 2025/26 season.
  • Her dismissal was announced on 18 December 2025, just days before West Ham were set to play Manchester City in the League Cup quarter-finals.
  • West Ham stated that the team’s recent results “have not matched expectations,” prompting the decision to seek a new head coach to improve league standing.
  • Skinner’s side won only one of 11 WSL matches this season, contributing to their position near the bottom of the table.
  • Her last game in charge was a 2–2 home draw vs. bottom-placed Liverpool, where West Ham led twice but conceded late.
