Laura Harvey is leaving the National Women’s Soccer League’s Utah Royals to become the full-time head coach of the under-20 women’s national soccer team.
Her task will be to prepare the team for that level’s World Cup qualifying, which starts next month.
Harvey has been a coach in the NWSL since the league’s inception in 2013, first with the Seattle Reign and then for the past two seasons with the Royals.
She’ll open camp with the under-20 team on Thursday in Florida.
