The Orlando Pride announced at noon today that they’ve parted ways with Head Coach Tom Sermanni. The Scottish boss joined the team for its inaugural season in 2016, leading the team to the postseason in 2017. But expectations were high after the additions of Sydney Leroux, Australian international Emily van Egmond, and Canadian international Shelina Zadorsky this past off-season and the team struggled down the stretch, finishing seventh out of nine teams in 2018.
“I want to thank Tom for all that he has done for the club and community and for helping to build Orlando Pride over these first three seasons,” Orlando City and Pride General Manager Niki Budalic said.
