North Carolina Courage head coach Sean Nahas has been terminated “effective immediately”, according to a statement released by the club to their social media platforms.
The statement was released at 7:45pm local time on Wednesday, with no explanation given for Nahas’s termination.
Nahas made an appearance Wednesday morning on 99.9 The Fan, a local North Carolina sports radio station. He also posted a story to his Instagram page at about 4:30pm local time on Wednesday, posing with Courage coaching staff after training. Neither media appearance made any indication that Nahas was aware he was to be fired.
Nahas was an assistant coach with the Courage under Paul Riley for nearly five seasons, before sexual coercion allegations led to Riley’s termination in late September 2021. The Courage made the postseason under Nahas in three out of four attempts, never advancing past the first round.
