Washington Spirit head coach Richie Burke is stepping down from his current role due to health reasons and will be joining the front office, the team announced Tuesday.
“Yesterday Richie advised me of some health concerns and we mutually agreed that it was in the best interests of him and of the club for him to step down as our coach. Once Richie’s health improves, he will join the sporting operations front office staff,” said President of Sporting Operations Larry Best in the release.
