Manager Leif Smerud has departed from Crystal Palace just 10 weeks after his appointment, following a difficult season where the team finished bottom of the Women's Super League. Smerud, who took over on March 1, led the team to only two wins in the top-flight league. Despite the disappointing results, he expressed pride in the team's efforts and gratitude towards the club's chairman, Steve Parish, and the board for their support. Parish acknowledged the challenges faced during Smerud's tenure and wished him success in his future endeavors.
"While we didn't get the outcome we hoped for, I'm proud of the work we've done together," Smerud said.
"Leif joined us during a challenging period, and we are grateful for his contribution and the professionalism he has shown during his time at the club."
"I'm grateful to Steve Parish and the board for their trust and for the opportunity."
"We wish him every success in the future."
