By Martin Booth  Friday Dec 11, 2020

Tanya Oxtoby is expecting a baby boy in March with her partner Alice Kempski.

The Bristol City Women manager is due to become the second serving FA Women’s Super League (WSL) head coach to give birth in the space of three seasons.

Oxtoby’s side currently sit bottom of the WSL. The Australian, who tested positive for coronavirus in November, became Vixens boss in 2014.

“As my bump is now too big to hide, we are happy to announce we are expecting a baby boy in early 2021,” Oxtoby tweeted. “We are both very excited.”

Kempski plays as a midfielder for Cheltenham Town Ladies in the FA Women’s National League Division 1 South West, as well as being national football development manager for AoC Sport.

Oxtoby, 38, was director of development at Notts County FC while Kempski worked for the University of Nottingham.

Bristol City are through to the quarter-finals of this season’s Continental League Cup. A victory against West Ham on Sunday would lift them off the foot of the WSL table.
