The North Carolina Courage have announced the termination of head coach Sean Nahas's contract after nearly four years in charge. The team's brief statement emphasized a commitment to the development of the team and maintaining a professional environment. Under Nahas, the Courage achieved success, including two NWSL Challenge Cup titles and playoff appearances. Currently, the team holds a record of 5-4-5 and resides ninth in the standings, just below the playoff line. Nahas had significant ties to the local soccer community, including connections to the Courage's academy and family ties to collegiate soccer.
Nahas took over as interim coach in the fall of 2021 following the firing of Paul Riley, who allegedly sexually coerced former players and was eventually banned for life from the NWSL.
The Courage are currently 5-4-5 (W-D-L) with 19 points and sit ninth in the table, below the playoff line.
