Rita Guarino has declared herself “really excited” about the project at West Ham after being confirmed as the club’s new head coach on Monday.
Guarino has signed a contract until 2027 with West Ham, as the Guardian reported on Sunday, replacing Rehanne Skinner, who was sacked on Thursday after two-and-a-half years in charge of the Women’s Super League side. Her first game in charge will be the trip to the champions Chelsea on 11 January, following the WSL’s winter break. The 54-year-old former Juventus head coach takes charge with her new side 11th in the table.
