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.
Tough time to find a new coach with the Olympics just one year away. Short of getting a coach from outside of the women’s system, like France did, I think they’d go with a temp hire, then do the long term hire after the Olympics.
