US Soccer CEO Will Wilson Stepping Down

”It has been an honor to work with the U.S. Soccer board and the dedicated executives and staff at the Federation, and especially with Cindy Parlow Cone, during this pivotal time in sports and for the organization," Wilson said in a statement. "My goal has always been to make sure the Federation was in a better place than when I started, and I'm stepping away knowing that the organization is positioned for continued long-term global success." Wilson's departure comes at the same time as the U.S. men's national team is set to participate in the 2022 FIFA World Cup starting in November. He also leaves at the same time as work is yet to be done regarding the U.S. co-hosting the 2026 World Cup with Canada and Mexico. The USSF, however, said that Wilson will remain in his role during this transition phase "to ensure seamless continuity." Whoever succeeds Wilson will inherit a vastly different landscape than the one he encountered at the start of this tenure. Back then, the COVID-19 pandemic was just starting. There was also the equal pay lawsuit as well as a collective bargaining agreement with the men's national team to negotiate. That situation grew to include the CBA for the women's national team when it expired at the end of 2021. All of those issues have now been settled, including provisions to equalize prize money in the two CBAs. Wilson also oversaw a new sponsorship deal with Nike and a media rights deal with Warner Media starting in 2023. Prior to his stint with U.S. Soccer, Wilson was the co-head and executive vice president overseeing football at Wasserman Media Group. He has held executive positions at Soccer United Marketing and the National Football League.

Someone needs to tell me if this is a big deal or not 
Also why is he waiting until right before the WC to leave? Either leave now or wait until the WC is over with.

Timing is weird. My guess is to make way for Cindy Parlow Cone. After he completed the equal pay crusade, “it’s her turn”.

Sounds like something you would do if you knew that there was a shite storm coming up.
