Full Time: A show about women's soccer
The Athletic
Making sense of Sean Nahas being fired for a 'multitude of factors'
Episode Notes
On this week's Full Time Focus, Meg Linehan and Producer Theo discuss the abrupt firing of Sean Nahas as the head coach of the North Carolina Courage, and the combative press conference with the club's sporting director Ceri Bowley that followed. What do we know at this time about the firing? And, why is it unclear what happened? Meg and Theo also talk about what it means for Nick Cushing to be hired as the first-ever head coach of Denver Summit FC, and give their takes on the 2025 Ballon d'Or nominees.
PLUS: Get focused with Full Time's 1-2-3 of what to watch this weekend in the NWSL, from Ally Sentnor returning to Utah for the first time to potentially make her debut with the KC Current, to head coach Alex Straus and Angel City's desperation to win the SoCal Derby.
