Birmingham City have announced that coach Marcus Bignot has left his role at the club after he was found to have used anti-gay language towards Tottenham Hotspur manager Rehanne Skinner during a Women's Super League match in February.
Bignot, 47, was suspended after the incident and has now left the club after the Football Association concluded a breach of FA Rule E3.
Bignot has also been given a seven-match touchline ban to serve in his role as assistant coach of England under-19.
A statement from Birmingham City Women's official website read: "Following the suspension of his agreement in March 2022, the Club has now terminated his agreement and will no longer be using his services.
"Bignot has been suspended from the touchline for seven matches and ordered to attend a mandatory face-to-face education programme by an independent Regulatory Commission.
"An independent Regulatory Commission found the charge to be proven and imposed this sanction during subsequent hearings.
"As a Club we strongly condemn any form of homophobic abuse and reiterate our aim to confront and eliminate any form of discrimination."
