D.C. United’s new technical director might be leaving for England
Four months after becoming D.C. United’s technical director, Dane Murphy might leave the MLS organization for a position in England.
Multiple people close to the situation said Murphy is a top candidate for an unspecified job with third-division Barnsley. An agreement has not been reached, one source cautioned. Murphy, 32, did not respond to a message seeking comment.
The former University of Virginia midfielder played for United in 2008. After entering the business side of soccer a few years ago, he returned to Washington last fall to assist General Manager Dave Kasper in overseeing the rosters for the MLS squad and Loudoun United, a new second-division team owned by the D.C. group.
