In April 2022, Everton reached an agreement for Brian Sorensen to become the Club’s new Women’s manager ahead of the 2022/23 season, with the Dane signing an initial two-year contract with the Blues.

Sorensen, during two stints at Danish club Fortuna Hjorring, won two league titles, a domestic cup and established Fortuna as regulars in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Sorensen’s CV also includes a further two domestic cup triumphs during spells with Danish sides IK Skovbakken and FC Nordsjaelland.

As a UEFA Pro Licenced coach since 2015, he arrived at Everton with a reputation for developing young talent and forming tight-knit squads, founded on supportive and driven cultures.

Sorensen said: “I’m extremely excited to join Everton. It is one of the historic clubs in women’s football and our backgrounds fit nicely, with common values, work ethic and ambitions."

“Having studied the squad in depth during this process, I feel there is massive potential, with players capable of making an impact on the biggest stages."

“I'm very thankful to Fortuna Hjorring for our journey together and their support for this opportunity - and I now look forward to meeting with the Everton staff and players next week on Merseyside and getting to work on preparations for next season.”

Everton Women Managing Director, Alan McTavish, who led on the recruitment process alongside Director of Football, Kevin Thelwell, said: “We are delighted to welcome Brian to the Club."

"Throughout the process to appoint a new manager there was considerable interest in the role, and after a great deal of consideration, we are confident we have found the best person to lead the team into next season and beyond. Brian was the outstanding candidate from a very strong field, and he is a proven winner."

"His vision for the team, along with his ambition and drive to move Everton Women forward, impressed us throughout the interview process. We look forward to Brian joining the Club and getting started on our work together ahead of the 2022/23 season.”

On Thursday 18th April 2024, Sorensen extended his contract until the end of June 2026.
