Aston Villa Women have appointed Natalia Arroyo as the new head coach on a three-and-a-half year deal.
Arroyo joins from Liga F side Real Sociedad, where she spent four seasons in charge. The Spanish coach led Sociedad to a fifth-place finish in her opening season in charge, before taking the team to second the following campaign.
Head of Women’s Football, Lee Billiard expressed “We are familiar with Natalia’s playing style and admire her philosophy. After an in-depth search, Natalia has consistently stood out in meeting our requirements.”
Aston Villa currently occupy eigth spot in the Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL) standings, after a turbulent start to the 2024/25 campaign saw former manager Robert de Pauw depart the club.
Arroyo will face a quick turnaround as the Villans gear up to host Manchester City this Saturday at Villa Park.
