@akernadj Hi is this still available?

Brian Sorensen’s real speech at Goodison in May didn’t make the club's final social media cut. But he's still smiling. “For the first time since I’ve been at Everton, I got all my transfer targets.”

A very different summer window for #EFCW.

As the Head of Women's Football, Sylvain Carric has helped guide Dijon FCO from a relegation threatened side to the end of season Championship play-offs.

Spoke to him about how they're mixing it with the elite, off-field investment and the future of women's football in France...

[Ashley Brown @soccerella]

Really happy to see Nils get the chance to shine again on the touchline, with a really talented Japanese squad. Infinite potential!

Congrats, Nils!

The importance in finding the strengths in people 💪

Thanks to Tom for a fun discussion with Nils about the story behind some of the (re)signings! It will always be person before player!

[Tom Garry @TomJGarry]

Exclusive @guardian_sport interview: Nils Nielsen opens up on his year as #ManCity's women's director of football, why he was adamant Gareth Taylor must stay, and discusses securing deals with Hemp, Miedema & more. And why leave? Well, he misses coaching.

Thanks to @charlotteharpur for giving the platform for @larsenstinedk and Simone Boye to share their experiences as two 🇩🇰 @dbulandshold teammates navigating pregnancy at the same time.

A really valuable topic for players but also everyone around the game. We're all learning!

"Clubs expect injuries. It would be good if they also expected pregnancy so you don’t have to be afraid of that conversation."

What is it really like being a pregnant footballer and what needs to change?
