Angel City FC and head coach Freya Coombe have parted ways effective immediately the club announced on Thursday. The news comes at the halfway point of the season, as the team sits in 11th place in a 12-team table with a 2-6-3 record. The franchise has named assistant coach Becki Tweed as interim head coach until they make a new coaching hire.
Coombe was hired ahead of the club’s inaugural season and remained in playoff contention through the final weeks of the 2022 season before closing the year in eighth place. The team start off the 2023 season with a few key players unavailable, but despite injuries, the club pulled in talent to compete this year, and results have escaped them.
“Freya assumed the role of leading an expansion club with some of the most ambitious goals in all of sports and embraced this immense responsibility head-on with strength, patience, and humility,” said ACFC general manager Angela Hucles Magano. “After considerable deliberation and evaluation of where we are in our season, we have made the difficult decision to make a change. We sincerely wish Freya all the best, and she will forever hold an indelible place in Angel City’s history.”
