EFL highlights: Middlesbrough move LEVEL with Coventry; Hull above Ipswich

Everton Women sack Sorensen

Everton Women have sacked manager Brian Sorensen.

The Toffees currently sit in ninth place within the Women's Super League table, four points off Liverpool at the bottom of the table. 

The dismissal comes after the club ended a run of three straight league defeats with a 2-1 win against Aston Villa last weekend. 

The 45-year-old had been at Everton since the summer of 2022 and signed a new deal until 2027 last April.

Assistant coaches Stephen Neligan and Ashley Tootle have also departed their roles.

Speaking in a statement released by the club confirming Sorensen's departure, Everton CEO Angus Kinnear said: We would like to thank Brian, Stephen and Ashley for their hard work and efforts in their time at the Club.

Sundays 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.

The club confirmed U18s coach Scott Phelan will take charge of the team for the remainder of the season on an interim basis. 

Phelan will be assisted by first-team coach Jennifer Foster and goalkeeping coach Ian McCaldon.

West Ham currently sit in 18th place within the table, six points adrift of Nottingham Forest above them.
