D.C. United on Wednesday fired General Manager Lucy Rushton after two seasons, including a 2022 campaign that ended with the worst record in MLS.
Rushton, a native of England, became the second female GM in league history when United hired her from the Atlanta organization in early 2021. She worked closely with Dave Kasper, D.C.'s longtime GM who, upon Rushton’s arrival, became the club’s sporting director and president of soccer operations.
Kasper will remain in his position, but the club has hired a search firm to identify a replacement to work alongside Kasper rather than under him, as Rushton did.
