Casey Stoney: former ENGLAND captain for reconstruction after the dismissal of San Diego and becoming the head of Canada

Stoney, who won 130 caps for England and led Great Britain to the 2012 Olympics, had been responsible for the San Diego wave for almost three years later halving himself as Manchester United manager in 2021.

The NWSL Club was a new franchise when she became head of the coach and took them to third place and then in first place during the first two seasons.

The semifinals of the end of the season play -offs have reached twice, which crown the league champions, but his third season had not continued on the same trajectory with only three wins after 14 games.

He saw the work as a long -term project. He had experienced a painful spell apart from his partner, Megan, and three children – Twins Teddy and Tilly and the youngest child – when he moved for the first time to the United States, but in the end they had solved their visa problems, allowing them to meet and set up their home in California.

“It took 22 months to take them out there, we were 22 months later, we weren’t even there a year (together) and I lost my job,” he says.

“If I am honest, I didn’t think I even deserved to lose my job, so this made him even harder, with the successes we had, we just had a small dip. It wasn’t even anything serious.

“So being treated in that way, after everything that had been done and sacrificed and everything that had been achieved, was really, really difficult to swallow on a personal level, but it was more what happened to my family.

“I have three young children, they were nine and six years old, they didn’t have a home. So, for me, it is unjustifiable to do a family.”

The day when his children had to return to school in August in San Diego after their summer breaks went and went, then Stoney started around the school.

It was a period that describes as “one of the most difficult moments of my life”.

He says: “He made me ask if I wanted to stay at stake because if the game chews you and spits you like this, after everything we had sacrificed to be there, and after what I had reached in a short period of time and what we had made as a club, made me question the game.

“I received offers quite quickly after the announcement and I said no to all of them, whether they were right or wrong, because I wanted to take some time. I needed to make sure to solve our life.

“My priority was my family (e) how we return to San Diego.”
