Aston Villa Dismisses Women's Manager Natalia Arroyo After Winless WSL Run
By Rhyter Times Desk · 1h ago
Aston Villa has dismissed women's team manager Natalia Arroyo following an opening stretch of four league fixtures without a victory, according to reports from both the BBC and The Guardian.
The squad accumulated just two points over that span, registering two draws and two losses to sit second from the bottom in the Women's Super League standings, the outlets reported. Arroyo had originally taken the helm in January 2025, according to The Guardian, helping Villa avoid relegation before concluding her first full term in ninth place.
