Chelsea Women is delighted to announce that head coach Sonia Bompastor has extended her contract at the club through 2030.

Bompastor led the team to an unbeaten domestic treble in her debut season, lifting the Barclays Women’s Super League title, FA Cup and Subway League Cup in a memorable maiden campaign with the club.

The 45-year-old joined the club in May 2024 from Lyon where she became the first person to win the UEFA Women’s Champions League as both a player and a manager.

‘I am delighted to extend my stay here,’ Bompastor said. ‘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. My focus is firmly on bringing more success to this amazing club.’

Sporting Directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley said: ‘Since the day Sonia joined Chelsea, she has delivered a level of excellence that has elevated our women’s team on and off the pitch.

‘Her impact has been immediate and significant, and the standards she sets embody exactly what we want this club to represent. Sonia is not only a key part of driving our success today, but also an integral part of the long-term future we are building.

‘Renewing her contract reflects our belief in her leadership, her vision and the stability she brings to the club. There is still a lot to play for this season as we continue to compete for all major trophies. We are very excited for Sonia and the team for the next phase both in the short and long term.’

Sonia steered Chelsea to a historic invincible league campaign as we secured the WSL title for an unprecedented sixth year in a row, winning 19 and drawing three of our 22 WSL games.

With Sonia at the helm the Blues became the first English women’s team since 2000/01 to complete the domestic season unbeaten and recorded the highest points tally in WSL history.
