Former Leicester City women’s manager Lydia Bedford is set to become head coach of the Calgary Wild, one of the six teams that make up Canada’s Northern Super League.
Bedford currently manages 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 begin in April and will be the highest level of women’s soccer in the country.
The league is owned and operated by Project 8 – co-founded by former Canada international Diana Matheson.
The Calgary Wild will join the Halifax Tides, Montreal Roses, AFC Toronto, Ottawa Rapid and Vancouver Rise in the six-team division.
Bedford managed Leicester for less than a year after being appointed in late 2021, helping them avoid relegation from the Women’s Super League.
She then served as Arsenal women’s assistant manager before becoming the first woman to hold a coaching position at a Premier League club.
