West Ham are set to appoint Rita Guarino as their women's team manager following the sacking of Rehanne Skinner. Skinner was sacked by West Ham on Thursday after winning only one of their 11 Women's Super League matches this season. It is believed West Ham had been monitoring the availability of Guarino before the winter break, with a view to appointing her. Guarino's arrival will be seen as a bold move by West Ham because she is a relative unknown in England. One of her first priorities will be to navigate the January transfer window as West Ham look to move up the table.
