Bev Priestman signs contract to remain Canadian women’s coach through 2027 World Cup

Canadian women’s coach Bev Priestman has signed a new contract that runs through the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Priestman has a 28-9-10 record in 47 matches as Canada head coach and was a nominee for FIFA Women’s Best Coach in 2021 and 2022. 

The 37-year-old Priestman took over the Canadian women on Nov. 1, 2020, appointed “through the next quadrennial.” She succeeded Kenneth Heiner-Moller, who returned to his native Denmark.

The Canadian women have won five of six since a disappointing showing at last summer’s FIFA World Cup in Australia that saw them exit after the group stage.
