Nico is out off contract in the summer as well, so i would expect Everton to offer her a new deal, if she was to take it, as she may not take it etc with there been a new boss
 
The new Boss i think will be said very soon as in sometime this week - Its the man above as said the day Kirk went as he is the one they wanted from min 1
 

What do you think mate, good appointment?
Trophy wise, it looks a very good appointment, but he was sacked from Lyon for slowly dismantling a world class team and actually stoped their run of consecutive championship wins, Its his 1st time outside France as well
---------------------

Vasseur started out on his coaching journey in the youth system at Paris Saint-Germain. He spent a decade with PSG, working in one of the very best academies in both French and European football. After leaving The Parisians, Vasseur coached in the top three tiers of the men’s game. He first joined Créteil, a side who he had also represented as a player in the late 1990s. Vasseur spent three years with the club, helping them to the Championnat National title in 2012/2013.

In 2014, Vasseur took charge of top flight side Stade de Reims where he spent just one season. While he kept the club in Ligue 1, they were relegated to Ligue 2 the year after his departure. Short spells with Paris FC and Châteauroux followed before Vasseur moved into the women’s game with Lyon in 2019.

Vasseur’s first year with Lyon saw them continue their dominance of the women’s game with the club retaining their UEFA Women’s Champions League and French Division 1 Féminine crowns while they also lifted the Coupe de France Féminine, Trophée des Champions and the Women’s International Champions Cup. Last season was a disaster though with Lyon losing their grip both domestically and in Europe and as a result, Vasseur was sacked in April.

Everton would be hiring a former Coach of the Year

Vasseur’s achievements in his first year at Lyon saw him collect a whole host of personal accolades. He picked up the UEFA Women’s Coach of the Year award, the Women Soccer’s Women’s World Manager of the Year award and the IFFHS World’s Best Women Club Coach award.

The French coach proved that he can do it in the women’s game given his record in 2019/2020 but last season’s disaster will be a serious concern to Everton fans if Vasseur is deemed to be the man to take the club forward.

Vasseur a master of reinvention?

Vasseur sees himself as an adaptable coach and someone who is always looking to reinvent himself. Those qualities would need to shine bright if he was to be appointed the new head coach of Everton. The 52-year-old would have to adapt to working overseas for the first time in his career in a new league with a new culture and develop a new language, a big task for even the very best coaches in world football.

Reinvention would also be important. Vasseur would need to implement his playing style and beliefs on the Everton team with the expectation that the club begins to become more competitive against the leading sides in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League. Vasseur holds his self-reinvention in high regard and his ability to change, adapt and learn from past lessons following that difficult second year at Lyon would certainly be put to the test.
 





Everton Women has appointed Jean-Luc Vasseur as the Club’s new manager on a two-and-a-half-year deal until June 2024.

A Champions League-winning boss with Olympique Lyonnais Féminin and the 2020 recipient of FIFA’s World Women’s Coach of the Year award, Frenchman Vasseur joins Everton with a glittering CV.

He led Lyon Women’s all-conquering 2019/20 team which, as well as being crowned European champions, won the French league title, Coupe de France, Trophée des Championnes and Women’s International Champions Cup.

Vasseur has already visited Everton’s training ground USM Finch Farm, Women’s stadium Walton Hall Park and Club headquarters at the Royal Liver Building with Alan McTavish, Managing Director of Everton Women.

Vasseur explained how Everton’s ambition to challenge at the top of the domestic game and to compete regularly in the Champions League was key in his decision to join the Club.

“It’s an honour to be here at Everton, which is such a famous club in England,” he told evertontv.

“I spoke with Sarvar Ismailov [Everton Women Sporting and Commercial Director] and he told me this is a big club with a big history and an amazing future.

“I’ve come here to write new history with Everton and to win titles.

“We have a lot of talent and resources so I think there is good capacity to improve.

“I have the ambition to build a team that can achieve Champions League qualification.

“We have to be patient and fight to win.”




A successful professional footballer who turned out for the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Rennes and St Etienne, Vasseur began coaching upon the conclusion of his playing career in 2001, working for a decade with PSG’s youth academy.

Vasseur then held managerial positions with the senior men’s teams at Creteil, Reims, Paris FC and Châteauroux, before moving into women’s football when appointed Lyon boss in 2019.

He proceeded to lead the French giants to five trophies in his maiden season in charge. Vasseur left the club in April 2021 after they were beaten on away goals in the Champions League quarter-finals. Lyon were second in the Division 1 Féminine table when he departed, having won 16 of their 17 league matches.

Everton Women Sporting and Commercial Director Ismailov believes Vasseur’s experience of managing at an elite level can drive Everton Women forward.

“He is a perfect candidate for us,” Ismailov said.

“He has worked in women’s and men’s football and has been successful in both. He has a great knowledge of the game and vast experience in different types of environments.

“We wanted a proven winner and he has won numerous titles.

“We also wanted a someone with DNA which matches our club’s – someone with an attacking vision, who fights until the end.

“He is determined to improve everyone and he is ambitious.

“Those are the main characteristics we were looking for and Jean-Luc ticked all the boxes."
 

Sad that people are even discussing women playing football, its bog standard.
[/QUOTE
Some women teams are good and worth watching, usually those who play for rich clubs who have invested heavily, and are full timers. Chelsea, Arsenal for example. Crowds vary, for example I found out Everton drew an average of 460 before lockdown. Chelsea might get 1 or 2 thousand. Harm is being done to the women's game said the Chelsea manager recently by televising such games as Albania 0 England 13, England had 55 shots against 0 by Albania and we could and should have scored 18. Cut out the utter dross and the standard should rise. Did we recently beat Luxembourg by a cricket score?
