The 2024-25 Women s Super League will have fans excited at the prospect of new managers right across the league.

Four of the 12 clubs involved will have new bosses in the dugout when the campaign begins in mid-September.

The most hotly anticipated of those newcomers is Sonia Bompastor, who will be following on from the Emma Hayes dynasty and trying to create her own era of success at Chelsea.

In the last decade, Chelsea found the winning formula that brought silverware galore. Hayes won 15 trophies during her 12 years as manager, cementing the club’s complete dominance of the domestic competitions in England.

That haul included a last-gasp push for the WSL title last season, as the Blues pipped Manchester City to the post.

Manuel Lanzini has signed a new long-term contract with West Ham United, the Premier League club have confirmed.

The Argentina international put pen to paper on a new four-year deal on Friday, with the option of a further two years.

Signed from Al Jazira in 2015, the 26-year-old has racked up 101 appearances for West Ham in the Premier League and has started all three top-flight matches this term.

Lanzini, restricted to just 10 outings in all competitions last season because of a serious knee injury, said it was an easy decision to commit to the east London side.

Ours for four more years!
