TFC Talk: John Herdman faces possible disciplinary action
In a new video blog, we discuss what the findings from Canada Soccer's investigation into the drone scandal means for Herdman.
Canada Soccer on Tuesday shared the findings of an independent report it commissioned into the drone-spying scandal involving the Canadian women's team that rocked this summer's Paris Olympics.
Investigator Sonia Regenbogen from the law firm of Mathews, Dinsdale & Clark found that Bev Priestman and assistant coach Jasmine Mander “directed, approved and condoned” the illegal filming of New Zealand’s practices at the Olympics using a drone.
As a such, Priestman, Mander and analyst Joey Lombardi — who were all hit with a one-year FIFA ban for their role in the scandal — will not be returning to Canada Soccer.
"The three individuals currently suspended by FIFA will not be returning. The search for a new head coach for the women’s national team will commence shortly," Canada Soccer said in a news release.
