Two-time World Cup-winning manager Jill Ellis has confirmed that she will leave her position with the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) in October.
Having most recently tasted success at the World Cup in France, Ellis has helped establish the USWNT as the most dominant side in women's football and will become a U.S. Soccer Ambassador after the Victory Tour later this year.
"The opportunity to coach this team and work with these amazing women has been the honour of a lifetime," Ellis said, quoted by US Soccer. "I want to thank and praise them for their commitment and passion to not only win championships but also raise the profile of this sport globally while being an inspiration to those who will follow them.
