Alen Stajcic leaves as head coach of Philippines Women’s World Cup soccer team

Associated Press  

SYDNEY — The Philippine Football Federation said Tuesday that Alen Stajcic has decided not to continue as head coach of its national soccer team just two days after the side played its final group game at the Women’s World Cup. Stajcic is a former coach of the Australian women’s team who was removed from his position just before the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France. The Philippine federation praised Stajcic for “changing the landscape of Philippine football forever” after taking the country to its first World Cup. “Beating New Zealand on home soil and scoring our first World Cup goal and getting our first win was the things that dreams are made of,” Stajcic, 49, said in a statement.
