Not a big surprise, but now it’s time to reset and get a new coach to guide the transition to the next generation.
Obviously the issues are deeper than one person, and a more thorough post-mortem is due. Still, in all, a bronze in Tokyo and a round of 16 exit in the World Cup is not a great legacy for a USWNT coach.
Thank goodness. I agree that it wasn’t just one person – it was Kate Markgraf too. Anyone who watched this team in the Olympics could tell the desire was there for the team, Vlatko just had them playing sufferball that we just do not have the personnel for.
