Ex-Leicester boss Lydia Bedford set to join Canada’s Calgary Wild

Former Leicester City women’s manager Lydia Bedford is set to become head coach at Calgary Wild, one of six teams forming the Northern Super League in Canada.

Bedford is currently in charge of Brentford’s under-18s men’s team and spent the summer with England’s under-19s squad at the Women’s European Championship.

Canada’s new NSL is set to kick-off in April and will become the top tier of women’s football in the country.

The league is owned and operated by Project 8 – co-founded by former Canada international Diana Matheson.

Calgary Wild will join Halifax Tides, Montreal Roses, AFC Toronto, Ottawa Rapid and Vancouver Rise in the six-team division.

Bedford managed Leicester for just under a year after being appointed in late 2021, helping them avoid relegation from the Women’s Super League.

She then served Arsenal women’s assistant manager before becoming the first woman to hold a coaching position at a Premier League club.
