Sheffield United Sacks Manager Over Inappropriate Relationship

Jonathan Morgan was dismissed following revelations of a nearly three-year relationship with a teenage player at his previous club, prompting a broader investigation into his conduct.

  • Jonathan Morgan, former Sheffield United Women's team manager, was sacked due to allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a teenage player at his previous club, Leicester City.
  • The decision to terminate Morgan's contract came after The Athletic presented evidence of the nearly three-year relationship, which began when the player was 17.
  • Morgan's management agency, Tongue Tied Management, also terminated their relationship with him, emphasizing the importance of maintaining integrity and safeguarding standards.
  • The Football Association has launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Maddy Cusack, a player under Morgan's management, although his sacking is not directly related to this case.
  • Morgan denies causing emotional anguish to Cusack, whose family has raised concerns about his behavior, but admits to the relationship with the Leicester City player, acknowledging it crossed ethical boundaries.
