Daily News | Former Penn soccer assistant coach Melissa Phillips has gone around the world to Angel City FC
This opened a whole new set of doors. Not only was Phillips in charge of a pro team for the first time, but she led the Lionesses fight for promotion to the top flight. Along the way, she faced some of the biggest women’s teams in the world in England’s cup tournaments. And she matched wits with elite managers such as Chelsea’s Emma Hayes, Arsenal’s Jonas Eidevall, and Tottenham’s Juan Carlos Amorós — who’s now the new boss of Gotham FC.
Jay Cooney, the Union’s video analytics chief, knows a whole lot of people in men’s and women’s soccer. Before working for the Union, he was an assistant coach at Sky Blue FC , and, before that, he was a longtime assistant for Stanford’s women’s team. One of Cooney’s colleagues there was Nicole van Dyke. Before she got to Stanford, she was the head coach at Cal State Bakersfield, and, before that, Cal State Stanislaus. Phillips played for van Dyke at Stanislaus, then joined van Dyke’s staff at Bakersfield. When van Dyke moved to Stanford, Phillips got Bakersfield’s top job. And when van Dyke took over at Penn in early 2015, she brought Phillips to Philadelphia.“Nicole is one of my best friends and my mentor,” Phillips said.
