Everton Women have parted ways with Brian Sørensen after nearly four years in charge of the club.
The decision comes with the Toffees four points off the bottom of the WSL table, with all but one of their home games having finished in a loss.
Everton Under-18s coach Scott Phelan will take charge for the remainder of the season as Interim Head Coach, assisted by Jennifer Foster and goalkeeping coach Ian McCaldon.
Phelan has coached within Everton’s Finch Farm Academy for more than 10 years, holding lead roles at various age levels, including the men’s Under-18s and Under-23s.
Everton CEO Angus Kinnear told evertonfc.com: “We would like to thank Brian, Stephen and Ashley for their hard work and efforts in their time at the club.
“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.”
