Interim coach Becki Tweed has been a driving force behind Angel City's first NWSL playoff berth, but is it enough to keep her with the team in 2024?
Daniel Ball remembers the first time he knew Becki Tweed would be a great soccer manager. The two were assistant coaches with NJ/NY Gotham when the team hit a rough patch late in the 2021 NWSL season, losing three of four games and going six matches without a win. That led to coach Freya Coombe’s departure and with new manager Scott Parkinson’s arrival delayed by personal issues, Tweed was asked to take over on an interim basis.
” Then Becca Moros, Gotham’s top assistant, left for the University of Arizona and Tweed moved up a spot. Two months later Coombe was let go, Tweed took her place for a game “and since then,” Ball said, “she’s not really looked back.” At Angel City, she’s changed the entire culture of the team, encouraging players and staff to approach her at any time to talk about anything. They may not always like the answers, but Tweed will always take the questions.
