In October 2020, Priestman was appointed as the head coach of Canada women's national soccer team, leading them to the gold medal at the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo on 6 August 2021.
On 24 July 2024, she voluntarily withdrew from coaching the team for their opening match at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris against New Zealand after two members of her backroom staff were sent home for allegedly flying a drone over the opposition team's training session in the build-up to the game. Two days later, Priestman was removed as Olympic head coach and suspended by Canada Soccer which said it had instigated an "independent external review" while world football governing body, FIFA, also announced it has opened disciplinary proceedings against her and the staff involved. On 27 July, FIFA announced that Priestman would be suspended from football-related activities for one year due to "offensive behaviour and violation of the principles of fair play." In November, Canada Soccer announced that an external investigation concluded that Priestman and assistant coach Jasmine Mander ordered analyst Joseph Lombardi to fly a drone during a New Zealand training session closed to the public. The three of them were subsequently fired.

Priestman is married to Emma Humphries, a former midfielder with the New Zealand football team. Their son was born in 2018.
