Everton have sacked manager Brian Sorensen only three days after their first home win of the Women's Super League season.
They are fourth from bottom of the table under Sorensen, who was appointed in 2022.
"Sunday's first win of the season at Goodison Park was important, but it has become evident that a change of direction is necessary to ensure the progression on the pitch we are all striving for," read an Everton statement.
Coaches Stephen Neligan and Ashley Toole have also left the club.
Everton Under-18s coach Scott Phelan, 37, will take charge of the women's team for the rest of the season.
Women's first-team coach Jennifer Foster will remain at the club to work alongside Phelan, as will goalkeeping coach Ian McCaldon.
