Bev Priestman Dismissed Amid Drone Scandal
News summary

Bev Priestman has been dismissed as the head coach of Canada's women's national soccer team due to a drone spying scandal that has drawn international attention. The Canadian Olympic Committee announced the decision following revelations that drones were used to spy on opponents, including during practice sessions, leading to complaints from New Zealand. Assistant coach Andy Spence will take over for the remainder of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Two other staff members were also sent home due to their involvement in the incident. Canada Soccer's CEO noted that the organization is conducting an independent review, and Priestman's suspension will last until its conclusion. Despite Priestman's insistence that she was unaware of the drone usage, the scandal has tarnished the team's reputation ahead of their Olympic campaign.
