Ian Willcock to leave United Women

Women’s goalkeeping coach Ian Willcock will leave Manchester United at the end of the season, to take up the corresponding position with the Canada Women’s national team.

Willcock has been United Women’s goalkeeping coach since the team’s reformation in 2018 and is set to pursue an exciting career opportunity elsewhere in the summer, after seven years of high-quality service in Manchester.

The move will see ‘Willco’ reunite with former Reds boss Casey Stoney, who first brought him to the club as a member of her coaching staff and is now in charge of the Canadian team.

Ian has been a highly regarded member of United’s coaching team ever since joining the club and has played an instrumental role in the history made by the Reds over the last seven seasons.
