HEAD COACH MARK PARSONS A finalist for 2018 Best FIFA Women’s Coach of the Year, head coach Mark Parsons is currently in his third season with Thorns FC. Since joining the club for the 2016 season, Parsons has helped Portland to an NWSL Championship (2017) and NWSL Shield (2016), helping Thorns FC become the first NWSL team with three trophies, while compiling a mark of 37-14-16 (.672) and 12 or more wins in each of his first two seasons with the club. On May 25, 2018, Parsons became the third coach in league history to register 50 career wins. During his tenure, Thorns FC have finished in the top two in the NWSL regular-season standings in both seasons, winning the club’s first NWSL Shield in 2016, and second NWSL Championship, while helping Portland secure a home playoff match in consecutive seasons. Under Parsons, Thorns FC have secured one of the top home-field advantages in the league, registering just five losses at Providence Park since his arrival (19-5-4) and became the first team in league history in 2017 to record 10 home victories in a season with the second-best home record in league history (10-1-1). In just his second season with the club, Parsons helped Portland lift the NWSL Championship trophy behind one of the most dominant defensive performances in league history. Thorns FC tied the singleseason record for the top defense in NWSL history, posting a 0.83 goals-against average, while also equaling the mark for the most home shutouts (7) in a single season. In addition, Thorns FC finished the 2017 regular-season campaign ranked first in fewest goals conceded (20), fewest goals conceded at home (8) and fewest goals conceded on the road (12).

In addition, Portland registered the best home record (8-1-1) and best road record (4-2-4) in the league, while beginning the season with the second-longest unbeaten streak in league history (12 games). Parsons oversaw a defensive unit that became just the third team in league history to allow less than a goal per game over the course of an entire season (19 goals in 20 games, 0.95 goals-against average) and offensively the team ranked second in the league in goals (35) and tied for second in assists (23). Prior to joining Thorns FC, Parsons served as the head coach and general manager of the Washington Spirit of the NWSL, helping guide the Spirit to consecutive playoff appearances during the 2014 and 2015 seasons. 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. 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.
