It was announced Wednesday that Gotham FC assistant coach Becca Moros has accepted the job as Head Coach of the University of Arizona Women's Soccer team.

“It is with mixed emotions that I announce I’m leaving Gotham FC to accept the head coach position for the women’s soccer team at the University of Arizona. I’m grateful to Alyse, Freya and the owners for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to start my professional coaching career in the NWSL. I want to thank the rest of the staff – Dan Ball, Becki Tweed, Philip Congleton, Joelle Muro, and Sara Carpentieri – for an incredible journey. I especially want to thank the world class players of Gotham FC. It has been an honor working with you and I am proud of all that we have accomplished together. I will remain your biggest fan! Go Gotham FC!,” said Moros.

While assistant coach of Gotham FC, Moros helped lead them to a 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup semi-final and was acting coach during the final game of the group stage of the 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup.

“This is an incredible opportunity for Becca and our club is wholeheartedly behind this great next step. She’s been a tremendous part of our club’s growth over the last two seasons and we’re very grateful for that. Obviously the timing makes it quite bittersweet, but we’ll be cheering her on and supporting her awesome journey," said Gotham FC General Manager Alyse LAHue.
