Former defender Kate Markgraf has stepped down after four years as general manager of the U.S. women’s national soccer team.
Markgraf will continue in a transition role through the end of the month, U.S. Soccer announced Friday.
“I am proud of the foundation we have built, and even more proud of the character and commitment demonstrated by our players as they represent the United States on and off the field,” Markgraf said in a statement. “I look forward to supporting all of our programs and have every confidence that we will maintain our standards of excellence moving forward.”
