- Former England defender won NWSL Shield in 2023
- Club hails Stoney’s ‘positive impact’ on team
Casey Stoney has been sacked as manager of San Diego Wave, with the team having gone seven games without a win.
The former England centre-back swapped Manchester United for newly founded San Diego in 2021, and in 2023, led them to their first NWSL Shield, the trophy awarded to the team with the best regular-season record. Wave then beat the championship winners, NY/NJ Gotham, in the 2024 NWSL Challenge Cup, which is contested between the two trophy winners, in pre-season.
