Lydia Bedford: Brentford appoint former Leicester women's manager as under-18s coach

Brentford have appointed former Leicester City women's manager Lydia Bedford as head coach of their under-18s side.

She will work alongside Jon-Paul Pittman, who will join as assistant coach from Forest Green Rovers.

In 2021-22 Bedford guided Leicester to safety after joining with the club bottom of the Women's Super League.

Her most recent role was at Arsenal where she served as an assistant coach for the WSL side this season.

"[We're] really pleased that we've managed to attract such talented coaches as Lydia and Jon-Paul to our under-18 team for next year," Brentford said in a statement.
