On Monday, July 20, NJ/NY Gotham FC announced that their head coach, Juan Carlos Amorós, would be taking a five-week parental leave following the birth of his family’s second child.

During Amorós’ absence, his role will be filled by lead assistant coach Shaun Harris. Shaun Nahas, a former NWSL head coach (North Carolina Courage) who currently works as a consultant for Gotham, will help out as the club’s interim director of methodology.

The union fought for parental leave rights for women, and wouldn’t you know it, it helps everyone

“I’m incredibly grateful to everyone at Gotham FC for supporting us unconditionally while we were deciding to take this step,” Amorós said in an official press release from the club. He is expected to be gone for five weeks.
