Canada ready to introduce new women's soccer coach

TORONTO -- Canada has found a new women's soccer coach.

The Canadian Soccer Association has scheduled a conference call for Thursday for what it calls "an important announcement regarding the women's national team program."

The Canadian women have been without a coach since Italian Carolina Morace resigned abruptly during a July post-mortem into the team's poor showing at this summer's World Cup.

Peter Montopoli, general secretary of the Canadian Soccer Association, said last week a coach would be in place before exhibition games against the U.S. on Sept. 17 and 22.

In January, Canada will attempt to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics.
