REACTION: Bev Priestman OUT as Canada Soccer reveals investigation details 👀 | Presented by tonybet

Nearly four months after a drone scandal involving the CanWNT rocked the Olympics, Canada Soccer released the findings of an internal investigation they launched shortly after that incident this week. 

There, they looked to see if the scandal from this summer was a one-off incident, or a sign of systemic problems that had started much longer before, as had been reported amid all of the fallout. 

Now, they're able to reveal the findings from that investigation, which included some key details. 

To begin, the big one is the fallout from this summer's scandal, in which the Canadian Women's National Team was caught spying on New Zealand's training with a drone ahead of their opening match of the Olympics. 

There, three coaches were implicated in that incident - head coach Bev Priestman, assistant coach Jasmine Mander and analyst Joseph Lombardi - who were all suspended for one year by FIFA. Now, however, after the investigation, it's been revealed that they will not be brought back once their suspensions are over, meaning that Canada will now immediately begin searching for a new Women's National Team coach. 

In the investigation, it was revealed that the spying dates back to before the Olympics on the Women's National Team side, although none of that came during the 2021 Summer Olympics, in which Canada won gold. On top of that, members of the staff had felt uncomfortable with the tactic, and that the players had never seen the footage that was collected, indicating that the directives to spy had come from a few individuals and wasn't a collective project. 

Otherwise, one key finding is that "potential violations of the Canada Soccer Code of Conduct and Ethics by the former head coach of the Men’s National Team were identified", indicating that while this matter appears to be wrapped up on the women's side, that the digging isn't done elsewhere in terms of past incidents on the CanMNT side. 

More specifically, one name is worth keeping an eye on - John Herdman, head coach of Toronto FC and former Canadian Men's and Women's National Team head coach, who has been accused of starting the culture of spying that Priestman, who was once his assistant on the CanWNT, had picked up. 

It's noted in the report that they were unable to speak to Herdman, who was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts, but that will be the next step in the process now that some clarity has been provided in regards to the future of the CanWNT's coaching staff. 

In terms of the current CanMNT staff, it's worth noting they investigated a potential incident at the Copa América, but that there was nothing to it, as they were using the drone to film a promotional video. Current CanMNT head coach Jesse Marsch has noted in the past that he doesn't believe in spying, something the report confirmed.
