Gareth Taylor believes he is ready to handle the pressure of needing to deliver results as he steps in as manager of Manchester City Women.

The former Wales international has been working at City’s academy since 2011 but after years of focusing on the development of talent, the focus will now change as he follows his predecessor Nick Cushing in swapping the academy for the dugout.

“I feel personally that I’m ready for this moment,” Taylor said on a conference call. “It’s a big step up, a big responsibility but I’m looking forward to it.
