It was a remarkable month in the Super League of women (WSL) with a number of management changes in the entire department.
Liverpool separated from Matt Beard before Crystal Palace announced the departure of Laura Kaminski during the last international break. Then Manchester City made the shock decision to relieve Gareth Taylor just a few days before the finals of the Women’s League Cup of this weekend.
These announcements came to Arsenal and Aston Villa only a few months, which changed themselves, which increased the total number of the entire season to five. Before the start of the campaign, there were a lot of upheaval in the underlays in the documents with Emma Hayes among those who had left their position and the former Villa boss Carla Ward.
Rehanne Skinner is one of the most experienced characters in the WSL with her work in the league, starting in 2020. However, she first trained Tottenham after taking on the role in the middle of the 2019/20 season.
Towards the end of the 2022/23 season, Skinner was released from the London Club after a run of nine defeats. In July 2023 she was appointed head coach of West Ham, where she has been since then.
Skinner is now in her second season with the hammers and you are currently ninth place in the table with 16 games played. They won four, pulled three and lost nine of their games so far.
After the departure of Skinner in March 2023, Robert Vilahamn was appointed head of the Spurs in early July this year. The Swede had previously trained BK Hacken in his home country and had so far enjoyed a successful spell in North London.
In his first season, Vilahamn Spurs led to her first FA Cup final of women, which they then lost to Manchester United. They also took sixth place in the WSL, ten points from the top 4.
In this term, Spurs are seventh place in the overall ranking after 15 games, but the points between tenths and fifth is only seven. Vilahamn signed a new contract with Spurs last summer, which will hold it in the club by 2027.
The second longest manager in the WSL is Everton boss Brian Sorensen. The Dane was announced as head coach of Toffees in April 2022 and officially took over before the 2022/23 season.
In April last year, Sorensen signed a new two -year contract with Everton, which held it in the Merseyside Club until the end of the 2025/26 season. In his first season, he led her to a top -six finish and in the last term they took eighth place.
Everton is placed similarly this season despite a number of injury concerns. The risk of a descent rose in the first few months of the current campaign, so that Sorensen was supported in January Transfer window with some promising constant and loan agreements, including Emma Watson, Hayley Ladd, Kelly Gago and Maren Mjelde.
After Taylor’s departure this week, Marc Skinner from Manchester United is the longest in office manager in the WSL today. Before he came to United, 41-year-old Birmingham City and then the Orlando Pride of the NWSL trained before returning to England in the summer of 2021.
His term of office has certainly divided into a vocal United Fanbase, although he led the club to its first major silver dishes last season. Although United ended outside the top four in the WSL, he overcame Tottenham in the FA Cup final to rewrite the history books.
He was rewarded with a one -year contract extension that can be extended to 2026. Reports show that United is the trigger of the clause by the end of March, but a new contract can also be negotiated at any time.
