Villa Park paid tribute to former Liverpool manager Matt Beard, who died Saturday
Liverpool's Women's Super League match at Aston Villa on Sunday has been postponed following the death of former manager Matt Beard.
Beard, 47, led Liverpool to back-to-back WSL titles in 2013 and 2014, and returned for a second spell in 2021.
"Following the tragic death of former Liverpool Women head coach Matt Beard last night, Liverpool's players were rightly offered the opportunity to postpone today's Barclays WSL fixture," Aston Villa said in a statement.
"We apologise to fans for the late notice and inevitable inconvenience but would ask for understanding at this sad time. The club will be in touch regarding the rearranged fixture in due course.
"Meanwhile our thoughts and condolences remain with Matt's family."
