An independent investigation into the coaching staff of Bay FC After the publication of a report describing a “toxic” work environment at the club, according to the National Women’s Soccer League commissioner, Jessica Berman. The ‘San Francisco Chronicle’ published a investigation Friday that said at least two formal complaints were filed about the team led by coach Albertin Montoya.
Two former players, not assigned to the ‘Chronicle’ report, described the team’s environment as toxic, and two former Bay FC employees have come to analysis. A complaint was investigated and no irregularity was found, while the state of the second was unclear, according to the newspaper. Bay FC on Friday said in a statement that a third was investigating the complaint and no evidence was found.
The league confirmed on Friday that it opened a formal investigation by a third (independent). Yesterday Berman discussed the issue. “Our goal is to create a safe and healthy work environment for all and everything we do, both active and responsible. Based on the information we have noticed, a third is conducting a review and we are sure that the system we implemented will ensure that we take to light the problems that need to be addressed.”
This is the second time this year that Bay FC has become the subject of an investigation. Club leader Graeme Abel, resigned at the end of February after just one week in the office in the middle of a verbal abuse while coaching to the University of Oregon. The NWSL was shaken by a scandal of abuse and misconduct in 2021. Five coaches resigned or dismissed as a result and there were two investigations: one by US soccer and another in the league and union of players. In response, the NWSL has implemented changes to protect players.
