The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) announced on Thursday that Bev Priestman, the head coach of the women's football team, has been dismissed from her position. This decision follows Canada Soccer's suspension of Priestman in the wake of a drone spying controversy that has brought unwanted international attention to the 2020 Olympic champions.
For the rest of the Paris Olympics, the Canadian women's team will be under the guidance of assistant coach Andy Spence, as stated by the COC.
