Jens Scheuer, the former Bayern Munich coach, has left Brighton after just six games in charge. He replaced Hope Powell in late December but the Seagulls failed to win any of their three WSL matches under him and are now 11th with two points adrift of safety, two points above relegation territory.
Amy Merricks and Perry Northeast will serve as interim managers ahead of Wednesday’s league trip to Chelsea. It marks the first change since Powell left in October following an 8-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur.
Relegation battle
At the start of October, Scheuer took charge of six matches before Amy Merricks was appointed interim coach. Under her guidance, Brighton and Hove Albion managed to secure a 5-0 victory against Coventry United in the WFA Cup before her departure.
The German, 44, is eager to improve Brighton and has already made a significant acquisition with goalkeeper Lydia Williams. She joins a women’s team who are currently bottom of the league and could face serious trouble this month as Liverpool, Reading and Leicester City all feature in crucial matches.
Former Bayern Munich manager Wolfgang Jost was promoted to replace Hope Powell, who departed in October. Jost had served the Bundesliga club for three years and led them to the 2021 league title as well as reaching the semi-finals of the Women’s Champions League.

FA Cup run
After six games in charge, former Bayern Munich coach Jens Scheuer has left Brighton after being criticized for his outspoken management style. He was appointed in December, replacing Hope Powell after she was dismissed following an 8-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in October.
He had also managed three cup matches while at Brighton, leading his side to victory against West Ham United on penalties in the Conti Cup group stage and victories over West Bromwich Albion (7-0) and Coventry United (5-5) in both FA Cup fifth and fourth rounds.
Brighton are 11th in the West Sussex League (WSL) with two wins out of 11 matches, but have been a force to be reckoned with in the FA Cup this season. On Sunday they take on West Brom in the third tier at Broadfield Stadium and a win would help them leapfrog bottom side Leicester City.
Performances
After only six games in charge, Jens Scheuer has left Brighton and Hove Albion due to growing concerns about his assertive management style. He leaves having won just one league game and suffered two defeats – a 5-0 loss against Coventry City in the FA Cup fifth round and an 8-0 home loss against Tottenham.
The German has taken over from former England coach Hope Powell who retired at the end of October after a disappointing start to the season. Powell’s former assistant Amy Merricks took charge in an interim capacity and guided Brighton to two victories from four games.
After a turbulent campaign that saw them finish 11th in the WSL and two points above bottom side Leicester, Scheuer is determined to transform his side into one of the league’s feared sides. His ambition for the women’s team extends beyond simply survival in the top flight; he wants to alter its culture as well.

Management style
According to a club statement, former Bayern Munich coach Jens Scheuer has left Brighton after only six games in charge. He took over after Hope Powell stepped down on December 28th.
Scheuer had managed the German side for three seasons, winning the Women’s Bundesliga title and reaching the 2021 Women’s Champions League semi-finals, so many expected him to lead Brighton away from relegation danger this time around.
His abrupt departure has come amid growing criticism of his direct management style, with multiple sources reporting that staff and players were dissatisfied with how he spoke to them in meetings, on the training field, in the dressing room and other club employees.
