Manager won a treble, including the Women’s Champions League, at Lyon and likes what he has seen at Everton already
It is perhaps a testament to the increased expectations that come with a ramping up of interest in women’s football that Everton moved quickly to try to halt the team’s stuttering start by replacing the manager, Willie Kirk.
It is somewhat regrettable that managers will likely no longer be afforded time to build because results matter most. However, the broadcast rights deal and Barclays league sponsorship mean that being in the Women’s Super League is financially important and the man brought in to arrest Everton’s slide, Jean-Luc Vasseur, has a CV that suggests he can match the club’s European ambitions.
