Phoenix Rising Football Head Coach and President of Soccer Operations, Frank Yallop, resigned from his position on Monday. Yallop will aid Phoenix Rising FC as a consulting member of its international search committee focused on finding the new head coach and to help continue and build soccer operations for expansion into MLS.
“Helping set the stage for success at Phoenix Rising FC has been among the most enjoyable accomplishments in my career,” said Head Coach and President of Soccer Operations Frank Yallop. “The timing is perfect here for me to step aside and move back home with my family. I want to thank our talented players for believing in our vision, and our extremely dedicated ownership group. I believe there is no other club better positioned for expansion to MLS.”
Yallop’s assistant Rick Schantz will lead the team on an interim basis until the search for a permanent replacement is completed.
