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.
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.
The players were way more concerned with their political stand than winning the cup a third time.
Oh no, they didn’t do the thing that no team anywhere has ever accomplished. I guess it’s because of their politics.
