US EditionNWSL's Courage Abruptly Fires Coach for a 'Multitude of Factors' but Offers No Specifics
WAKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, AUG 7 – Sean Nahas was dismissed despite the North Carolina Courage being tied for the final playoff spot with 19 points, with no public explanation for the firing, officials said.
- On Wednesday, August 6, the North Carolina Courage announced the immediate termination of head coach Sean Nahas' contract.
- Nahas had led the team since October 2021 after replacing Paul Riley, who was fired amid a league-wide abuse scandal in 2021.
- Throughout Nahas' nearly four-year leadership, the team secured the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup title and has recently achieved a strong run of results, including more victories than defeats and draws combined.
- The team revealed that assistant coach Nathan Thackeray would take over head coaching responsibilities and requested that Sean's privacy be honored during this time, expressing eagerness for his eventual return to the squad.
- The Courage continue to prioritize team growth and professionalism as they currently hold a 5-4-5 record, accumulating 19 points and positioned just outside the playoff spots in the NWSL rankings.
