Memphis 901 sporting director and part owner Tim Howard has lured U.S. men's national team great Tim Howard out of retirement to play for the USL Championship side.
Yes, that is accurate. Tim Howard, who retired in October after a stint in MLS with the Colorado Rapids, has returned to active duty as part of the club he co-owns and for which he is the sporting director. Memphis 901's season begins on Saturday, and Howard will have more than just a seat in the front office for it.
“Since my retirement in October, my obsession for football has grown," Howard said in a statement.
