The Orlando Pride announced Amanda Cromwell’s assistant coaching staff today, minus a goalkeeping coach, who is expected to be named soon. Joining Cromwell’s staff is her former UCLA assistant Sam Greene, former United States Women’s National Team star Michelle Akers, and former Orlando City defender Seb Hines, who returns to the staff.
Akers, a two-time World Cup champion with the USWNT, will be player development coach as well as an assistant. The news was first reported by the Orlando Sentinel.
“Throughout my career, I’ve been blessed with amazingly talented assistant coaches,” Cromwell said in a club press release.
