Tom SchadU.S. women's soccer coach Jill Ellis, who guided the Americans to back-to-back World Cup titles in 2015 and 2019, has decided to step down.
U.S. Soccer announced in a news release Tuesday that Ellis, 52, will coach the women's national team throughout its five-game victory tour before transitioning into the role of"U.S. Soccer Ambassador." "When I accepted the head coaching position, this was the time frame I envisioned," Ellis said in a statement."The timing is right to move on and the program is positioned to remain at the pinnacle of women’s soccer. Change is something I have always embraced in my life and for me and my family, this is the right moment."
Ellis was hired as head coach of the women's national team in 2014. She led the Americans to eight tournament victories and will leave the team with an overall record of 102-7-18. She is the only coach in the team's history to win two World Cups.Published 3:03 PM EDT Jul 30, 2019
