Former US women’s national team head coach Tony DiCicco passed away yesterday due to an unnamed illness, as announced by his son Anthony DiCicco on twitter.
Of course he is often remembered for coaching the USWNT during their historic 1999 World Cup win, but he was heavily involved at almost every level of American soccer throughout his life, and his devotion to the game shows in how many players and coaches from different eras and areas expressed their condolences.
@DiCiccoMethod Great coach, amazing man! We were so fortunate to have him be our teacher/leader.
