HEAD COACH MARK PARSONS Mark Parsons was named Portland Thorns FC head coach on Oct. 5, 2015, coming to Portland following two full seasons as the head coach for the NWSL’s Washington Spirit. The former head coach and general manager of the Washington Spirit of the NWSL, Parsons, 29, helped guide the Spirit to consecutive league playoff appearances during the 2014 and 2015 seasons, posting a record of 18-15-11 in his two full seasons as head coach for the club. Assuming the role of head coach in July 2013 and general manger in September 2013, Parsons helped engineer one of the most successful turnarounds in league history as the Spirit went on to a 10-win season and secured a berth in the league playoffs in 2014 after winning just three games the previous season. Under Parsons’ guidance in 2015, the Spirit ranked among the top three teams in the league in goals scored (31), while forward Crystal Dunn was named league MVP. In addition, the Spirit Reserves won the W-League Championship, the U20s were national finalists and five Super Y Academy teams were also national finalists with Parsons at the helm as general manager. As the head coach of the Spirit Reserves in 2013, Parsons led the team to a third-place finish at the National Championships, while also helping launch the club’s academy programs. In 2012, Parsons helped guide the D.C. United Women U20s to the National Championship match, earning a runner-up finish. Before his arrival in the United States, Parsons was with Chelsea FC from 2004-10, working with both the girls and boys academies during his tenure, while also serving as the head coach for the Chelsea Ladies Reserves from 2008-10. During the 2008-09 campaign, the Reserves won the League Cup, the County Cup and the League Title for the first time in history. As an assistant coach with the U16 Girls Academy, Parsons helped lead the team to an academy championship in 2007. The Cranleigh, Surrey, native holds UEFA A and B Licenses, a US Youth Soccer National Youth License and US Soccer B License. Parsons resides in Beaverton with his wife Hannah and his daughter Edie (2).

Under new head coach Mark Parsons, Thorns FC brought in several new players in the offseason. U.S. Women’s National Team midfielder Lindsey Horan and defender Meghan Klingenberg joined Portland as part of a trade with the Orlando Pride. Selected to the FIFPro World XI, Klingenberg comes to Portland following two seasons with the Houston Dash. The 2016 season marks Horan’s first in the NWSL as she previously played three seasons abroad with French side Paris Saint Germain. Thorns FC utilized the NWSL College Draft to add depth to the roster as well, choosing defender Emily Sonnett with the first-overall pick. Sonnett was a four-year starter and standout at the University of Virginia, earning her first call-up and cap with the U.S. Women’s National Team as a senior in 2015. Thorns FC also made two separate trades to acquire a pair of international attacking talents - forward and Danish intermational Nadia Nadim and Icelandic international midfielder Dagny Brynjarsdottir. Nadim played for Sky Blue FC for the last two seasons, while Brynjarsdottir played abroad with Bayern Munich during the 2015 season after closing out her collegiate career at Florida State, helping lead the Seminoles to the national championship in 2014. France Women’s National Team midfielder Amandine Henry, the Silver Ball winner at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, will join the club following the conclusion of her contract with Lyon.
