Jill Ellis, the only coach to win two Women's World Cups, is stepping down as head coach of the U.S. Women's National Team.
U.S. Soccer announced Tuesday that Ellis will step down after the USWNT completes its Victory Tour in October.
Ellis, 52, will remain with U.S. Soccer as an ambassador.
"When I accepted the head coaching position this was the timeframe I envisioned," Ellis said in a statement. "The timing is right to move on and the program is positioned to remain at the pinnacle of women's soccer. Change is something I have always embraced in my life and for me and my family this is the right moment.
