US Soccer suspends ex-Toledo coach's license after Guardian investigation

The United States Soccer Federation has confirmed it has suspended the coaching license of Brad Evans following a Guardian investigation into alleged sexual misconduct by the former University of Toledo head coach.

US Soccer said Evans has also been blocked from accessing the federation’s learning center and removed from any study groups or courses he was in. In addition, the federation has notified SafeSport and the leadership at the Ohio Soccer Association, where Evans was employed after stepping down from the Toledo job in 2015.

Evans was informed of all these actions on Wednesday, US Soccer said.

The three-month investigation by Matthew Hall into Evans’ alleged misconduct published Wednesday morning relied on interviews with former players, coaches, University of Toledo staff, and families of former students to reveal for the first time the circumstances behind the coach’s abrupt departure from the Ohio university, how the school managed reports about his behavior, and how he was still allowed to hold prominent positions within the game in the United States.

A little late to the game, US Soccer?
