CHICAGO -- Tom Sermanni coached the U. Miguel Veloso Portugal Jersey .S. womens soccer team to a 2-0 win over China in Colorado in the afternoon. By evening, he was out of a job. Sermanni was fired by the U.S. Soccer Federation on Sunday after a disappointing finish last month at the Algarve Cup. The surprising move came just 16 months after he was put in charge. The dismissal was announced hours after Lauren Holiday and substitute Megan Rapinoe scored in the exhibition victory over China in Commerce City, Colo. "We felt that we needed to go in a different direction at this time," USSF President Sunil Gulati said. He said the federation will begin looking for a new coach immediately, with the team looking toward qualifying for the 2015 Womens World Cup. On Monday, a message on goalkeeper Hope Solos Twitter account addressed the firing: "Its a sombre day for us all today. Tom is simply a classy man in every way, and he will certainly be missed." Jill Ellis, the USSFs director of development, will serve as interim coach. She went 5-0-2 in that role in 2012. The womens team faces China again on Thursday in San Diego. "I was completely blindsided," Sermanni told SI.com on Sunday night. "Maybe Im losing my intuitive and perception skills, but I didnt sense a real unease in the team. But I could be wrong in that regard." Sermanni said he assumes there was "some degree of dissatisfaction among the players, otherwise we wouldnt have gotten to this point so quickly now." He added that the players did what he asked and he has "no qualms with them in the sense of having poor relations with them." He was hired in October 2012, but Ellis served as interim coach until he took over that January. Sermanni made his debut in a 4-1 win over his native Scotland on Feb. 10, 2013. He spent the previous eight years coaching Australias womens team, leading the Matildas to the quarterfinals of the last two World Cups. Sermanni helped the U.S. to a 13-0-3 record last year, but the Americans went 1-2-1 at the Algarve Cup, the last major tournament for the U.S. before qualifying for next years World Cup. The seventh-place finish included a 1-0 defeat to Sweden and former U.S. coach Pia Sundhage, ending a two-year, 43-game unbeaten streak. That was the first loss following a 16-0-4 start under Sermanni. "To put it in a nutshell, they just felt that the way I was managing the team wasnt working," Sermanni told SI.com. "It could be the U.S. team is a unique team that has certain demands that perhaps my management style or my philosophy didnt quite jell with." His firing came about six months before North and Central American and Caribbean World Cup qualifying, which takes place from Oct. 16-26 at Cancun and Playa del Carmen, Mexico. On Sunday, Sermanni experimented with a 4-3-3 alignment (four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards) and talked about the team making the most of its offensive opportunities. "I thought our movement was good, thought our passing was quite incisive," Sermanni said. "What we shouldve done better is finish the game off a lot earlier. We really need to be finishing these games off when were creating chances." The U.S. outshot China 23-1 and ran its unbeaten streak on home turf to 81 games (71-0-10). Holiday was back in the lineup after missing the Algarve Cup because of a family commitment. She scored in the 39th minute -- the U.S. finally solving goalkeeper Zhang Yue after a flurry of shots. Holiday nearly had another goal early in the second half, only to have it deflected near the goal line. The defence allowed only one scoring chance to China, which played defensively even after falling behind. "The most important thing is coming together now and figuring out what works and what doesnt," forward Sydney Leroux said. "Were getting better every single day." Any further improvement will come under a new coach. Luis Figo Portugal Jersey . Yet he had little trouble in securing an Olympic medal for Canada Sunday at the Iceberg Skating Palace in Sochi.

"Im extremely honoured by this selection," said Dunigan. "Im baffled by it all. Its exceptional company to be in. Those guys are some of the legends that played the game and paved the way for all of us. I look at some of the people who have gone in to the Hall and it gets more and more overwhelming and humbling. Football has a way of humbling a pplayer. Miguel Monteiro Portugal Jersey. "I think its a tremendous opportunity to bridge the CFL and NFL together," added Dunigan.

He has contributed to the community through his involvement with (Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Canadian Association of Community Living, Kids, Cops & Computers - Merry Go Round Childrens Foundation, DEBRA Canada as well as through many other community endeavours.

Dunigan has been a Football analyst and commentator for TSN since 1999. "Matt has been an important part of the CFL Alumni Association since our inception," said Leo Ezerins, Executive Director of the CFLAA. "We are particularly grateful for his support on the Canadian Sports Concussion Project." “The Gridiron Greats Assistance Funds Hall of Fame event started six years ago to honour retired players for their fabulous careers on the field, and the equally outstanding deeds off the field,” says Shannon Jordan, President of the Gridiron Greats. “This is a great way for us to honor deserving individuals not just because they were great players but because they have given so much back to the community." The annual Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame dinner and induction will be held on May 16, 2014 at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. A portion of the proceeds will be donated back to the CFL Alumni Support Fund.
