**Hannah Forshaw is set to step down as CEO of Everton Women.**
Forshaw only joined the Women’s Super League outfit in September ahead of the new season following spells with Liverpool FC and The Jockey Club.
During her formative weeks at the helm, the Blues broke their transfer record with the signing of England international Ruby Mace from Leicester City.
Forshaw’s remit also included overseeing the transition from Walton Hall Park to Goodison Park, now the UK’s largest dedicated women’s football stadium.
But Everton confirmed on Tuesday that she will now leave her position at the end of the current campaign in May following amicable internal discussions.
“The decision was reached following discussions between Hannah and the club, with both parties in agreement a different long-term direction was appropriate, but that a smooth transition to a new leadership structure can be supported by Hannah remaining as CEO for the current campaign,” read a club statement.
“The club will provide an update on changes to the leadership structure of Everton Women at the appropriate time later in the season, and thanks fans for their understanding and ongoing support.
“As CEO, Hannah will have the full backing of the club as part of that smooth transition.”
