Lucy Rushton will leave Atlanta United and join D.C. United as the organization’s new general manager, according to a report from Sportico.
Rushton’s move to the nation’s capital is a historic one, as she becomes the first female general manager in Major League Soccer history, according to Sportico. However, Grant Wahl tweeted the following:
Correction: The 1st female GM in MLS history was Lynne Meterparel of the San Jose Clash in 1999. Lucy Rushton, the new DC United GM, is the 2nd.
