The W appoints Valerie Greer as interim head coach as Ana Ramos departs for Texas

Program announces national search for a permanent coach after 2026 season

The W announced this week that assistant coach Valerie Greer will serve as interim head coach for the upcoming season, stepping into the role after longtime leader Ana Ramos resigned to move closer to her home state of Texas.

Interim Leadership Amid Transition

Greer, who joined the program in 2025, brings a deep familiarity with the roster and the club’s tactical identity, offering continuity during a period of change.

Ramos' departure ends a tenure that began in 2024, a move motivated by personal reasons and the desire to be nearer to family in Texas.

A Search for Stability

The organization has signaled that it will launch a national search for a permanent head coach following the 2026 campaign, a process that could extend across several months.

The team concluded the 2025 season with a record of 1‑13‑4, a result that highlighted the challenges faced by the program and underscored the urgency of finding fresh leadership.

While Greer's interim role provides a bridge, analysts and fans alike will be watching closely as the club navigates this pivotal transition.
