Interesting NWSL news ... Michelle Akers has joined Amanda Cromwell's coaching staff in Orlando. The Pride are joining NC Courage in a pretty comprehensive roaster and coaching staff change, but rather than just cobble together a staff from the (mostly male) pieces of their old regime they lured Cromwell away from UCLA and she went for the big culture guns by brining in USWNT legend Akers. Akers has never coached before, but did pursue some opportunities previously. She's a BIG personality, so Cromwell is showing some real stones here.
