Carla Ward: 'Colin Healy will be considered if Amber Whiteley takes Liverpool job'

Although she said last month that option wasn’t available to her, Canham this week seemed to contradict that by declaring no restrictions were imposed

Colin Healy could be offered a return to the Ireland backroom staff by Carla Ward if Amber Whiteley is upgraded to Liverpool’s permanent manager.

Fractures linger over the Corkman’s exit from the women’s management, with Healy accusing the chief football officer of breaking a promise to extend his contract beyond the Euro campaign that ended in December with playoff defeat to Wales.
