The North Carolina Courage have parted ways with head coach Sean Nahas.
The National Women’s Soccer League team announced the news on social media on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
“The North Carolina Courage remain focused on the continued development of the team and maintaining a professional, competitive environment for players, staff, and supporters,” the team said in a statement.
An interim coach has not yet been named.
The Courage are currently ninth in the NWSL standings with a 5-4-5 (W-D-L) overall record. The team had won two of its last three games, with its most recent game resulting in a scoreless draw.
Who is Sean Nahas?
Sean Nahas was hired as the Courage’s head coach in October 2021. With Nahas at the helm, the team achieved 15 wins, nine draws and 12 losses.
He led the team to the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup championship.
Nahas had been with the team since 2017 but initially took over the head coaching role as an interim coach, replacing Paul Riley.
Riley was fired as part of the league’s 2021 abuse scandal.
When is the North Carolina Courage’s next game?
The Courage will play the Houston Dash on Friday, Aug. 8. The game will air on NWSL+ and Paramount+.
