Former Liverpool and Chelsea women's manager Matt Beard took his own life, a coroner's court hearing was told on Monday.

The BBC reported the hearing in Ruthin, North Wales was adjourned for a full inquest at a later date.

Beard led Liverpool to back-to-back WSL titles in 2013 and 2014, before returning in 2021 and guiding them back to the top-flight after two seasons in the second tier.

He died in hospital on September 20 at the age of 47 after paramedics were called to his home.
