Aston Villa officially locked in Brian Sørensen as their interim head coach for the entire 2026/2027 season, making it clear they’re banking on him to turn things around after a rocky start. The 46-year-old, who usually serves as the women’s technical advisor, stepped into the hot seat just last month when former boss Natalia Arroyo departed. It was a managerial change the Villans made after a really tough start to the season, so the pressure is on Sørensen to deliver.
A Promising Start For The New Boss
So, what has Sørensen done since taking over? He’s already snagged a 3-1 victory against Newcastle United in the Subway Players Cup and held Crystal Palace to a 1-1 home draw in the Barclays Women’s Super League. Not bad for a guy who just got the keys, right? The club statement revealed this news today, confirming he’s the man in charge for the foreseeable future.
A Brutal Stretch Ahead
Now, Sørensen’s main mission is clear: help The Villans climb that Barclays Women’s Super League table. And let me tell you, the schedule ahead is absolutely brutal. They’ve got a grueling nine-match window coming up before the international break hits at the end of November. We’re talking six Barclays Women’s Super League opponents and three Subway Players Cup clashes. Oh, and get this: two of those nine games are against their Second City rivals, Birmingham City. Talk about throwing him into the fire!
The grind kicks off again this Sunday afternoon when Aston Villa hosts Liverpool at Keys Park in Hednesford in Barclays Women’s Super League action. Every point is going to matter big time if they want to escape this early season slump.
