Wilson said it was an honor to work with the U.S. Soccer board and the dedicated executives and staff at the Federation.
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.
While the U.S. men's national team prepares to compete in the World Cup, Wilson is leaving. The US is co-hosting the World Cup with Canada and Mexico. Wilson will remain in his role to ensure seamless continuity according to the USSF.
Wilson encountered a landscape at the beginning of his tenure that will be vastly different now that he is gone. The COVID-19 epidemic was just getting started.
There was a collective bargaining agreement to negotiate with the men's national. The women's national team had a collective bargaining agreement that expired at the end of 2011.
Provisions to equalize prize money in the twoCBAs have been finalized. A new sponsorship deal with Nike was overseen by Wilson.
Wilson was the co-head and executive vice president at the time. He has held executive positions.
