"Aboard a historic ferryboat that swayed side-to-side in the San Francisco Bay, the setting for Bay FC's big announcement did more than induce motion sickness. The choppy waters below, and the sun shining overhead, provided easy imagery for what the young franchise hopes will be a turning point. It was a decidedly unfamiliar environment for the two women on stage, who got to know each other long ago under the gray skies of the English countryside"
"Cossington, who came prepared with an anti-nausea patch, outlined a new phase for Bay following a year that included a league investigation to the club's culture, a stagnant offense and a second-to-last-place finish that resulted in the resignation of Albertin Montoya, who helmed the club for its first two seasons. And, why Coates, a 34-year-old from a little village in North Yorkshire, was the right woman for the job."
Bay FC introduced Emma Coates as its second head coach in a waterfront announcement held aboard a swaying historic ferryboat in San Francisco Bay. Kay Cossington arrived six months earlier to lead Bay FC's parent company and completed a monthslong search for the new coach. The club endured a turbulent second season marked by a league culture investigation, a stagnant offense and a second-to-last finish that prompted Albertin Montoya's resignation. Coates began her coaching career at 25 and most recently managed the U-23 Lionesses, working closely with Serina Wiegman.
