Sonia Bompastor extends Chelsea contract until 2030

Chelsea Women have confirmed manager Sonia Bompastor has signed a new contract that runs until 2030. The 45-year-old led the Blues to a domestic treble in her first season, but the new deal comes with the club 12 points behind Women's Super League leaders Manchester City after Sunday's 5-1 defeat.

Bompastor said: "I am delighted to extend my stay here. I want to thank the club for their unwavering support and the trust they have shown in me. It's a privilege to lead this team and I could not be prouder to represent Chelsea. Our fans have made me feel at home since the day I arrived and I am grateful for the many special moments we have shared together so far.

Lifting the WSL trophy at Stamford Bridge and FA Cup at Wembley with our supporters are memories I will never forget. Our success as a team is built on grit, resilience and intensity and we do not settle for anything less than winning. We have so much left to fight for, we are competing on four fronts, and we will give everything, every single day to make our supporters proud.
