MANILA, Philippines – Scott Cooper has resigned from his post as head coach of the national men’s football team, the Philippine Football Federation announced on Sunday, May 22.“I would like to take the opportunity to wish the Azkals all the best for the future. It was a pleasure working with all the staff and players,” said Cooper, who did not disclose the reason for his exit.
Cooper thanked PFF national teams’ committee chairman Dan Palami, as well as Azkals veterans Stephan Schrock and Neil Etheridge “for their unwavering support.”“We thank coach Scott for sharing his knowledge, time, effort and making great sacrifices to our men’s national team program,” said Palami. “We had our share of challenges handling the team and competing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
