Amato is the third of Stricklin's first four hires in Gainesville who have failed to pan out.
– Florida fired women’s soccer coach Tony Amato on Wednesday, parting ways less than a year after giving him a six-year contract to replace beloved program architect Becky Burleigh.
Stricklin blamed “a disconnect” between Amato and his players as the reason for his dismissal; at least a dozen Florida players have landed in the NCAA transfer portal since the end of last season. Amato went 4-12-4 in his lone season with the Gators. He was hired May 24, 2021. He previously had successful stops at Rollins, Stephen F. Austin and Arizona.Stricklin also fired assistant coaches Sandy Davison and Kyle Venter. The moves came days before the soccer team was scheduled to move into a new facility that was part of $7.4 million in upgrades to Florida's soccer and lacrosse venue on campus.
