U.S. soccer legend Tim Howard has a new job.
The longtime men’s national team goalkeeper was named as the sporting director for Memphis 901 FC, the USL Championship side announced Wednesday.
Howard was previously a minority owner in the club, which began play last year. Howard recently retired from playing pro soccer after starting in 25 matches last season in MLS with the Colorado Rapids.
“As a minority owner it’s nice to sit up there in a suite,” Howard said. “(But) by the nature of who I am, my competitive spirit, the goalkeeper in me, this role (of sporting director) has given me an excitement that mimics playing.
