The departure of Bev Priestman, confirmed by Canada Soccer, comes in the wake of a scandal involving drone surveillance during the team's summer Olympics campaign.
Canada Soccer stated the culture surrounding the incident reflected a 'past pattern of unacceptable practices' within the organization, highlighting a need for transformation.
The independent review concluded that two assistant coaches had engaged in improper surveillance practices, creating an environment where others felt unable to challenge authority.
While the review reported no evidence of spying during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, it implied that restrictions due to Covid-19 may have influenced the lack of such activities.
