Everton Women’s head coach Brian Sorensen has signed a new two-year contract to remain with the Toffees until the end of June 2027.
The Dane has been in charge of the Toffees since April 2022 and overseen the team’s encouraging progress to sixth place in the WSL in his first full season, while in contention to finish fifth this term.
Sorensen told evertontv: “I am super happy and excited to sign this contract. My family are really settled in the city and I am at the Club. I am looking forward at what’s to come. I love coming into Finch Farm every day, so it’s brilliant to extend my stay here.
“I have spoken to our owners and we want stability and to try to create consistency in what we are doing. Putting together a very competitive squad is the first aim for the summer. Then, secondly, making sure we build our staff and performance around it at Finch Farm every day.
“When we put all of that together, let’s see where it can take us. I’m very confident we are in a project heading in the right way.
“I’m happy the team continue to buy into the way we want to play. The excitement for what’s to come is really big and that’s also one of the reasons I’m really happy to be staying.”
The Toffees have been in fine form since the turn of the year. A string of positive results saw them climb the WSL table, taking points off the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal along the way.
Sorensen outlined his ambitions for his squad, while discussing their improved courage when competing against high-flying opposition.
“We want to be known for being one of the most dynamic teams in the league, both on and off the ball,” he added.
“We saw after Christmas, when we started to have more of our squad available, we had the building stones in place to really get some good results.
“This year we have really closed the gap on the top teams. It brings belief and confidence in what we are doing. With an even better squad coming in next season and learning from this one, I think we are in a good place to see if we can close that gap even more.”
