Jonathan Morgan has been sacked as manager of Sheffield United women’s team after it emerged that he had been involved in a relationship with a player at a previous club.
Morgan is also the manager at the centre of the Football Association’s Maddy Cusack inquiry.
He was informed of the decision on Friday, with United saying in a statement it was because of “new information that has come to light in the last few days”.
Morgan has also been sacked by the agency which represented him, Tongue Tied Management (TTM).
“In the last 24hrs we have learnt new information regarding Jonathan Morgan and a relationship with a player under his charge,” a TTM statement read. “We will no longer be working with him in any capacity and the termination of our relationship is with immediate effect.
“The termination of this contract is a critical measure in preserving the integrity of our agency.
“We are absolute in our view that safeguarding standards and processes should apply to all athletes be they male or female. At Tongue Tied Management we are committed to maintaining an environment of respect, integrity, trust and accountability within the sports industry.”
