Obviously it should be someone who has an idea of the history of women’s soccer in the US so they can understand the context around why the team is the way it currently is from who gets called in at each age group to the way the team handles contracts and how USSF interacts with NWSL. So now that we have a general outline of GM duties and know that whoever it is will fully take over after the 2019 World Cup, who do you think should be a candidate for the job? GM will monitor/scout YNTs for senior team. That is still the responsibility of Women’s Youth Director April Heinrichs. Small update here: the USWNT GM will not oversee the youth national teams. The release says that the WNT GM will be “in an observation and support role” for Jill Ellis while the team goes through quals and, hopefully, the World Cup, and then will “manage the program moving forward.”Īccording to The Equalizer, the WNT GM will not oversee the YNT’s. Obviously, the timing and needs between WNT and MNT GM’s is different, given that USSF hired Earnie Stewart as the MNT were coming off of not qualifying for the Men’s World Cup, while the women are now entering their qualification phase for the Women’s World Cup. These are pretty similar to the duties they listed for the MNT GM. The release also lists out the duties of the WNT GM, which include supporting the WNT head coach, helping to implement style and tactics, create positional depth charts, evaluate youth players, work with Sport Development on coaching education, and work with NWSL to develop the relationship between clubs and federation. According to USSF, the full committee who will select the WNT GM has not yet been finalized at this time. ![]() The timing on second round is uncertain the release only says that this round will take place after the in-person interviews in the Dec-Jan period.
