Which coach guided the US women's soccer team to the 1999 World Cup title? Tony DiCicco guided the United States to the championship.

The 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup was hosted in the United States, and the home team became the tournament's defining story. DiCicco's squad included stars such as Mia Hamm, Michelle Akers, Kristine Lilly, Julie Foudy and goalkeeper Briana Scurry. The final at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena drew a record crowd and was decided by a penalty shootout.

After a 0–0 draw with China, the United States won the shootout 5–4. Brandi Chastain scored the decisive penalty, creating one of the most recognizable images in women's sports. The victory was the Americans' second World Cup title, following their triumph in the inaugural 1991 tournament.

A frequent confusion is Jill Ellis, who coached the United States to World Cup victories in 2015 and 2019. Pia Sundhage also coached the U.S. to Olympic gold medals, but neither led the 1999 World Cup team.
