Aston Villa sack boss Arroyo after winless WSL start

Aston Villa has fired manager Natalia Arroyo following a winless start to the Women's Super League campaign. The team recorded two draws and two losses in their first four matches, culminating in a 4-0 defeat against Tottenham on Sunday. Arroyo was informed of the decision on Monday evening, with players receiving the news on Tuesday morning.

Former Everton manager Brian Sorensen, serving as Villa's women's technical advisor, has taken interim charge of the squad ahead of their upcoming Women's League Cup match against Newcastle. Arroyo initially joined the club in January 2025 and had two years remaining on her contract at the time of her departure.
