In a statement, Everton confirmed that the club have parted ways with Sorensen with immediate effect.

Coaches Stephen Neligan and Ashley Tootle have also departed their roles with the Toffees.

Explaining the decision, 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.

“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.”

Everton are locked in the WSL relegation battle with just four points separating the Toffees in ninth to Liverpool in 12th.
