Casey Stoney, former coach of the San Diego Wave, has been chosen as the new head coach of the Canadian women's national soccer team. This appointment comes after the team was left without a permanent coach due to the drone-spying scandal that led to the dismissal of Bev Priestman and other staff members.
Canada Soccer has appointed former San Diego Wave coach Casey Stoney as the new head coach of its women's national team, according to multiple reports. The sixth-ranked Canadian women have been without a permanent coach since Bev Priestman was sent home during the Paris Olympics due to the drone-spying scandal. Priestman, assistant coach Jasmine Mander and analyst Joey Lombardi are all serving a one-year FIFA ban for their role in the scandal and are no longer with Canada Soccer .
Canada Soccer declined to comment on the reports. The 42-year-old Stoney was San Diego's inaugural coach. She joined the NWSL expansion team in 2021 and was named the league's coach of the year in 2022. She led the Wave to their first two trophies, the 2023 NWSL Shield and the 2024 Challenge Cup, and left the club with a 24-15-18 regular-season record. Stoney joined San Diego from Manchester United where she was the first-ever head coach of the United women's team, helping the side win the Championship title and gain promotion to the top-tier Women's Super League in its inaugural 2018 season. A defender, Stoney won 130 caps for England and captained the side. She played her club football for Charlton, Chelsea, Lincoln and Liverpool. Assistant coach Andy Spence coached Canada for the remainder of the Olympics. Under-20 coach Cindy Tye served as interim coach for the team's recent outings against Iceland and South Korea
