Everton sack manager Brian Sørensen despite first home win | OneFootball

Everton have sacked head coach Brian Sørensen with the club ninth in the Women's Super League.

Sørensen was first appointed ahead of the 2022/23 season after stints with Fortuna Hjørring and Nordsjælland in his native Denmark. In his time at the club the Toffees finished ninth and eighth twice and currently still in ninth this season.

This season, Everton have been hurt by injuries and had to wait until just last weekend before recording a first win at new home Goodison Park.

Despite that, Everton have decided to sack Sørensen as well as coaches Stephen Neligan and Ashley Tootle.

"We would like to thank Brian, Stephen and Ashley for their hard work and efforts in their time at the Club," CEO Angus Kinnear said about the decision.

"Sunday’s first win of the season at Goodison Park was important, but it has become evident that a change of direction is necessary to ensure the progression on the pitch we are all striving for."      Under-18's coach Scott Phelan has been appointed in the interim with the Toffees facing a tricky trip away to London City Lionesses on Sunday.
