Matt Beard: Liverpool Women manager to take charge of 150th WSL game against Man City Women, live on Sky Sports

Matt Beard will take charge of his 150th WSL game on Saturday against Manchester City, live on Sky Sports, cementing himself as one of the most revered coaches in the women’s game.

Only Chelsea boss Emma Hayes has managed more matches in the league. A serial winner who is keeping the Blues on track for another multi-trophy campaign, Beard's career has been more varied and with his own impressive achievements.

Reflecting on his 149 games thus far, Beard said: "Over the time, you have highs and lows. I've been to cup finals, I've won and lost some. Some managers and players go through their whole career and not win anything so I've been quite fortunate."

Later, in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports' Lynsey Hooper, Beard said: "It's my job first and foremost and I'm lucky to do what I do, but I never try to make it about myself. I have a good team of staff around me and I've worked with numerous players over the years.

"It's a momentous occasion getting to 150 [games], but hopefully there's many more beyond that."

His first WSL coaching job preceded Hayes at Chelsea before moving to Liverpool for his first spell in 2012. The Reds were then one of the dominant forces in the women's game, winning league titles in 2013 and 2014.

It was his second title at Liverpool that remains one of his proudest career moments.

Reminiscing on a dramatic final day, Beard told Hooper: "We had Bristol City, Chelsea had Manchester City and Birmingham had Notts County, and we weren't expecting to win the league that day.

"I remember seeing Manchester City's teamsheet. They had the cup final in midweek and Nick [Cushing] had put out a weakened team, so I wasn't very happy at that point, but it just goes to show what pressure does to you. Chelsea,
