- Norwegian leaves Palace after only nine games
- ‘We didn’t get the outcome we hoped for,’ he says
Leif Smerud has left his role as Crystal Palace’s women’s team’s manager after only two months in charge, following their relegation from the Women’s Super League.
The 48-year-old Norwegian arrived on 1 March and oversaw just nine games in all competitions, winning one, drawing one and losing seven, concluding with Saturday’s 5-2 loss away at Manchester City on the final day of the WSL season.
