Union sporting director Earnie Stewart is expected to be announced Wednesday afternoon as the U.S. men’s soccer team’s first general manager.
The U.S. Soccer Federation issued an advisory Wednesday morning for a 2 p.m. unveiling of the GM hire. Multiple sources said the announcement will be about Stewart.
Federation president Carlos Cordeiro and CEO Dan Flynn, among others, will address reporters on a conference call.
Stewart’s potential departure has been an open secret for some time. Word of his candidacy for the national team job got out in early April.
Exactly when Stewart will leave the Union isn’t known.
