‘I coach the best team in the world’ - Outgoing USWNT boss Ellis doesn’t see coaching men as a step up

U.S. women’s national team head coach Jill Ellis is open to managing a men’s team in the future, but has said she wouldn’t necessarily view that move as a step up.

Ellis will leave her position in October following the conclusion of the USWNT’s five-game World Cup victory tour.

After taking over in 2014, Ellis has led the U.S. to back-to-back World Cup titles, with the most recent of those coming when the USWNT defeated the Netherlands 2-0 in the 2019 final in July.

Ellis is likely to be in high demand when she decides to return to coaching, as one of only two people in history to win more than one World Cup – men’s or women’s.
