Scott Phelan has been appointed permanent head coach of Everton Women, cementing his position after taking interim charge of the club in February. The announcement comes following his stewardship of the team through the remainder of the Women’s Super League season.
Phelan’s Path to Permanence
Phelan assumed interim responsibilities in February and has now earned the full-time appointment on the back of his work with the squad. Under his direction, Everton Women secured an eighth-place finish in the Women’s Super League, demonstrating his ability to navigate the team through a competitive campaign.
The 39-year-old takes over from Phil Jevons, who served as interim coach before Phelan’s arrival. Phelan’s transition from temporary to permanent status reflects the club’s confidence in his management approach and vision for the women’s programme.
Phelan’s Statement
Expressing his satisfaction with the opportunity, Phelan said: “To have the opportunity to lead our women’s team as head coach is something I do not take for granted. I am looking forward to what’s ahead.”
His remarks underscore his commitment to the role and his eagerness to continue developing Everton Women as the club moves into its next chapter under his permanent leadership.
