London City Lionesses, the current Championship league leaders, have suffered a huge blow days before their Vitality Women’s FA Cup tie with top-tier side Tottenham.
Manager Melissa Phillips has left the club effective immediately to become assistant coach under English manager Freya Coombe at Angel City FC in America’s top-flight - the National Women’s Soccer League.
The Club is owned by a group of Hollywood A-Listers including Natalie Portman, Jeniffer Garner, Uzo Aduba and tennis legends Serena Williams and Billie Jean King which has drawn Phillips back to her native USA.
