Arsenal Ladies boss Pedro Martinez Losa leaves after three years following poor start to season

ARSENAL Women have parted ways with boss Pedro Martinez Losa.
A poor start to the season has seen them slip to sixth in the Women's Super League table.
And it has led to the Spaniard losing his job, with assistant Ismael Garcia stepping up to take temporary charge.
Losa bossed the Gunners to their FA Cup win last year and the SL Continental trophy in 2015.
Losa, 41, said: "It has been an unforgettable three-year journey for me at Arsenal FC.
"I wish to express my gratitude, respect and admiration towards all of the first team and youth players that I was lucky enough to work with during my time at the club.

"A special thanks goes to the Arsenal fans who made me feel at home right from day one and have offered the team their unwavering support. We made some great memories together.
