WELLINGTON (Reuters) -Bev Priestman, who was sacked as Canada's women's coach for her part in the use of drones to spy on the opposition at the Paris Olympics, will make her return to the game in New Zealand at Wellington Phoenix.
The 39-year-old Englishwoman, who led Canada to Olympic gold in 2021, has just completed a one-year FIFA ban from football-related activity for her role in flying a drone over a closed New Zealand training session at last year's Summer Games.
