Maddy Cusack's coach told FA she was 'generally a liar', inquest hears
The inquest also heard allegations that manager Jonathan Morgan made remarks about her weight and relationship, while her family raised workplace concerns.
- On Monday, former Sheffield United coach Jonathan Morgan testified at Chesterfield Coroner's Court regarding Maddy Cusack's death, defending his previous description of the footballer as "generally a liar" in an FA inquiry.
- Maddy's mother, Deborah Cusack, previously told the inquest her "bright, confident daughter" changed after Morgan arrived, describing him as a "nemesis" who sought to "cut her down to size."
- Morgan admitted calling Cusack "bottom heavy" regarding her training and "love sick" about teammate Grace Riglar, though he denied shouting at players or attempting to demean her.
- Responding to Dean Armstrong KC, who represents Cusack's family, Morgan stated that "things have not been portrayed factually" and claimed she had "omitted a lot of information" from her family.
- The two-week inquest continues at Chesterfield Coroner's Court, where assistant coroner Sophie Cartwright KC examines events leading to Cusack's death on September 20, 2023.
