Aston Villa sack manager Natalia Arroyo after winless WSL start

  • Following a 4-0 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday, Aston Villa Women sacked manager Natalia Arroyo after a winless start to the Women's Super League season, with the club sitting second bottom of the table.
  • Despite positive early impacts after arriving from Real Sociedad in January 2025, Arroyo's departure follows a disappointing ninth-placed finish last season and poor results this term, though she retained two years on her contract.
  • Brian Sorensen, the club's technical advisor and former Everton manager, has been placed in interim charge and will lead the team for Wednesday's Subway Players Cup match against Newcastle United at Keys Park.
  • Arroyo becomes the first managerial departure this season, following exits earlier this year by former Manchester United boss Marc Skinner and ex-Brighton head coach Dario Vidosic.
  • With Villa one of four teams currently winless, Sorensen is now tasked with addressing the squad's current failings as the club seeks long-term stability following the managerial change.
