US women’s soccer coach Jill Ellis preps for last game

Retiring U.S. Soccer women’s national team coach Jill Ellis already knows she’ll be emotional on Sunday at Chicago’s Soldier Field.

The two-time FIFA women’s coach of the year will lead the World Cup champions in the final game of their six-game victory tour when the U.S. faces South Korea (11 a.m., ESPN).

“We built the best team in the world,” Ellis, 53, said Saturday. “We were incredibly successful over the years. People have been drawn to this team because of the personality and the success. ... They (her players) know I’m already getting emotional.”

The 2-0 victory against South Korea on Thursday in Charlotte, N.C., was Ellis’ record 106th, passing former coach Tony DiCicco for the most team wins.

Her two World Cup wins is unprecedented in the U.S. program.
