Calgary Wild FC has named Leah Blayney as its new head coach, according to multiple Canadian outlets. The hiring brings in an Australian coach for the club’s leadership role. Both reports frame the appointment as a delayed replacement process following the departure of the team’s previous head coach, Lydia Bedford, who left the position in early March. While the sources do not provide detailed terms of the contract or a full overview of Blayney’s past coaching record, they agree on the core outcome: Blayney is stepping into the head coach role for the Calgary-based franchise. The coverage also emphasizes timing, noting that the vacancy created by Bedford’s early-March exit persists for some time before Blayney is officially brought in. With the new coach appointed, the club’s next steps are expected to include preparing for upcoming matches and establishing the team’s tactical direction under Blayney’s leadership. No other specific details about staffing changes or immediate competition schedules are included in the provided excerpts.
