The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) removed head coach Bev Priestman on Thursday following her suspension by Canada Soccer over a drone spying scandal that has thrust the 2020 Olympic gold medalists into an unsavory global spotlight.

The Canadian women’s squad will be led by assistant coach Andy Spence for the remainder of the Paris games, the COC said.
