CANADIAN WOMEN’S NATIONAL team football coach Bev Priestman and two assistants suspended by Fifa over a drone scandal at the Paris Olympics will not be returning, Canada Soccer announced Tuesday.
The three Canadian coaches were sent home and banned for a year by Fifa, and a Canada Soccer statement Tuesday said the trio had effectively been fired. Advertisement The probe also found no evidence any surveillance was undertaken at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, where the Canadian women captured a gold medal.
Canada Soccer chief executive officer Kevin Blue and president Peter Augruso were unaware of drone surveillance and did not condone such actions, according to the report. Canada Soccer’s board of directors is contractually mandating reporting unethical behaviour and ethics training for coaches and staff members and creating an independent audit and compliance committee as a result of the report.
“We are working to change Canada Soccer into a federation that Canadians trust and are proud of, and one that is not defined by unfortunate actions of the past.”
