- NWSL investigation cleared coach of any wrongdoing
- League has been rocked by reports of misconduct
Portland Thorns head coach Rhian Wilkinson has resigned from her post after an investigation into her conduct.
The former Canada international said she had reported herself to the Thorns last season, and the club then passed the information on to the National Women’s Soccer League. Wilkinson said that she and one of her players had developed “feelings for one another” but the relationship went no further. The NSWL and the league’s Players’ Association then investigated the matter.
