U.S. Soccer announced on Tuesday that two-time World Cup champion Jill Ellis will step down as head coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team later this year. Ellis will remain with the USWNT during their five-game World Cup victory tour, which kicks off this weekend and concludes in October.
Ellis took over as head coach in 2014 after the departure of Tom Sermanni and led the U.S. to back-to-back World Cup titles while also overseeing the team’s quarterfinal loss in the 2016 Olympics. As of today, Ellis has an impressive coaching record of 102-7-18.
