Everton hand Sørensen a new deal | OneFootball

Everton have handed manager Brian Sørensen a new two-year contract to keep him at the club until 2027.

The Danish coach took over at the Merseyside outfit for the start of the 2022/23 seasons and has managed to successfully steer the ship while the club faced uncertainties with their ownership that meant budgets were steep.

Now, Brian Sørensen is overseeing a side that is much improved in the second half of the season after earning a 1-1 draw with Manchester City last time out.

"I am super happy and excited to sign this contract," Sørensen said about his new deal. "My family are really settled in the city and I am at the Club. I am looking forward at what's to come. I love coming into Finch Farm every day, so it's brilliant to extend my stay here.

"I have spoken to our owners and we want stability and to try to create consistency in what we are doing. Putting together a very competitive squad is the first aim for the summer. Then, secondly, making sure we build our staff and performance around it at Finch Farm every day.

"When we put all of that together, let's see where it can take us. I'm very confident we are in a project heading in the right way.

"I’m happy the team continue to buy into the way we want to play. The excitement for what's to come is really big and that's also one of the reasons I'm really happy to be staying."

The 44-year-old will be hoping to celebrate his new deal on Sunday when his side host Brighton & Hove Albion where a win would see them leapfrog the Seagulls.
