Interim head coach

Amber Whiteley

Amber Whiteley is currently the interim head coach for Liverpool FC Women.

She stepped up to the position of assistant manager at the club midway through the 2020-21 season, from her previous role as head coach of the U21s and technical director at the LFC Women Regional Talent Club.

She then served as the Reds' interim head coach for the second half of the campaign following the departure of Vicky Jepson, before working alongside Matt Beard following his return to the dugout in 2021.

Whiteley again took charge of the team on a temporary basis following the announcement in February 2025 that Beard had left his post.

A UEFA A licence coach, Whiteley obtained her sports science degree at Northumbria University, where she later became head of women's football while also acting as head coach at Sunderland Ladies U21s.

A promotion to assistant first-team coach at Sunderland followed from 2017 to 2019, where she gained valuable experience in the Spring Series and later the Women's Super League.

Prior to joining Liverpool in January 2020, Whiteley worked as part of the Football Association's Elite Coaching Menteeships Programme, working in a technical role with England U18s alongside Mo Marley.
