Willie Kirk is no longer coach of the Leicester City women's team. The English soccer club has parted company with the 45-year-old because he "breached the team's code of conduct to an extent that makes his position untenable", according to the club. Kirk is said to be having a sexual relationship with one of his players. 

The Scot had already been suspended at the beginning of March and the former player was the subject of an internal investigation. According to the English Guardian, a relationship with one of his players was the reason for the disciplinary proceedings. It is not publicly known who the player is.
