Everton part company with manager Sørensen | OneFootball

Everton have announced the news that they have parted company with manager Brian Sørensen.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Toffees this morning.

The 45-year-old leaves Goodison Park following a difficult period which has seen Everton win just three of their opening 14 matches in this season’s Barclays Women’s Super League. Sørensen did guide Everton back to winning ways last weekend as they recorded their first home victory of the season by defeating Aston Villa 2-1 at Goodison Park.

Sørensen was appointed Everton manager in summer 2022 and he guided the team through a challenging period which was dominated by takeover uncertainty. Despite having to juggle minimal financial resources and a catalogue of injuries, Everton often exceeded expectations. The Toffees have never been in any relegation danger during Sørensen’s tenure.

This season has brought added pressure with new owners investing heavily and allocating the team Goodison Park as their permanent home. It took Everton six attempts before they won a league match in L4. With Everton occupying ninth position in the league table, the club’s hierarchy have opted for a managerial change.

Stephen Neligan and Ashley Tootle have also left thier roles. Everton have placed Under-18s coach Scott Phelan in charge on an interim basis until the end of the season. He will be assisted by Jennifer Foster and Ian McCaldon.
