Everton Women manager Willie Kirk has set his sights on Champions League qualification after signing a new contract at the club.
Kirk and his assistant Chris Roberts have extended their current deals until June 2023.
"We want to take the standards at Everton to a completely different level. A higher level than it's ever been before," he told evertontv.
"I'm desperate to bring silverware to Everton Women and we want to qualify for the Champions League.
"There are a lot of building blocks [required] but that's what we want to do."
Everton, last season's beaten Women's FA Cup finalists, head into the WSL Christmas break fifth in the league table, eight points behind second-placed Arsenal - who currently occupy the final Champions League place - with a game in hand.
Kirk was Casey Stoney's assistant coach at Manchester United before joining Everton in December 2018.
