Following two NWSL investigations into claims of misconduct, the Thorns announced that head athletic trainer Pierre Soubrier and assistant coach Sophie Clough have been fired.. “The club reported to the league and fully cooperated with the league’s investigation into the allegations of misconduct by head athletic trainer Pierre Soubrier and assistant coach Sophie Clough.
