The North Carolina Courage terminated head coach Paul Riley after the accusations became public.
A head coach in the U.S. National Women’s Soccer League has been fired after several former players’ accounts of sexual abuse, which reportedly had been communicated to the league multiple times, were made public.
The North Carolina Courage said Thursday it terminated head coach Paul Riley, effective immediately, following “very serious allegations of misconduct.”
He’s the third coach to be fired from the professional women’s league for misconduct since August, prompting calls from the player’s union for measures ending the systemic abuse it said plagues the NWSL.
