The Kansas City Current have fired Carlos Jimenez, the head of their medical department, for a reported relationship with a player.
The Athletic reported Jimenez was terminated for a violation of the NWSL’s non-fraternization policy, which bans relationships between a supervisor in the league and a direct employee.
“When we learned of (Jimenez’s) actions in violation of club and league policies, he was immediately terminated,” the Current said in a statement to The Athletic. “We remain committed to making sure our policies and practices ensure a safe space for our players and our staff.”
Jimenez joined the Current in December 2023 after spending last season working as a physical therapist with the Washington Spirit. He also served as the lead physical therapist for the U.S. woman’s national team between 2019 and 2021, per his LinkedIn page.
Jimenez is the second NWSL employee to be fired this year for violating the league’s non-fraternization policy. Last month, the Houston Dash fired goalkeeper coach Matt Lampson amid a reported relationship with a player.
