U.S. Soccer reveals USMNT, USSF plans as Earnie Stewart moves to PSV

By Nicholas MendolaJan 27, 2023, 5:00 PM EST

U.S. Soccer announced Thursday that sporting director Earnie Stewart will be leaving the federation in mid-February to assume the same role at PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

Stewart joins former U.S. Soccer men’s general manager Brian McBride as big names to leave their roles at the federation following the World Cup. The moves also follow a tempestuous month that saw a terrible controversy involving then-USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter and the family of Borussia Dortmund star Giovanni Reyna.

USSF president Cindy Parlow Cone thanked both Stewart and McBride for their contributions and said that Berhalter remains a candidate for the USMNT head coach job. However, both Cone and U.S. Soccer CEO JT Batson will be hiring a new sporting director who will have the job of hiring the next USMNT head coach.

They insisted that the ongoing investigation regarding the incidents between Berhalter and the Reynas had “no impact whatsoever” on the departures of McBride and Stewart.

“No impact whatsoever, We’re using this as an opportunity to review our sporting structure and make sure we’re set up for success. This is something we want to bring to life quickly.”

Earnie Stewart, Brian McBride timelines for departure

“Before the World Cup in Qatar I was informed that Brian would be moving on after the World Cup,” Cone said. “We asked him to extend his contract through the end of January to help us through this transition because we knew we were going to have a transitional moment with Gregg’s contract.”

“Earnie is an accomplished and highly sought-after leader. There have been many roles that have come his way through his time at U.S. Soccer. This was one both JT and I understood why he couldn’t turn this down, to be near his family and return home. We agreed to let him out of his contract. Though we’re sad to see him go, we’re focused on the opportunity ahead and it gives us the opportunity for a fresh look. We did not plan it this way but we find ourselves in this position and we’re going to take this opportunity on the sporting side to be as effective as possible.”

The hierarchy said they let Stewart out of an agreed and extended contract in order to take the job at PSV. Stewart was raised in the Netherlands and boasts a decorated resume from his time there as a player and executive.

Cone said that these unexpected developments give them a chance to change how they approach the men’s soccer program, and the federation in general.

“This is an opportunity for us to take a more holistic view,” Cone said. “While we didn’t plan it this way, it presents us with a great opportunity. In my short time as president, we’ve made a lot of progress on the business side and now we have the opportunity to do it on the sporting side. It’s urgent but we aren’t going to rush it. I’m working with experts and our team to take a deep dive on our organization. I know this moment feels a bit uncertain but what it actually is is a clean canvas. We’re working with Sportsology to get into the weeds and continue a full review of our men’s national team. We are still undergoing a technical review. Thanks to the rest of our sporting team and to JT, we have a great plan in place to lead us through a transitional time and into the next chapter.”

Cone said they hope to have a new sporting director and men’s head coach in place by the end of the summer. Current interim boss Anthony Hudson oversaw the Yanks’ 2-1 loss to Serbia on Wednesday and will be at the helm Saturday against Colombia in California. The federation says he’ll be with the team until a permanent successor is appointed later this year.

New Zealand vs USWNT: How to watch live, stream link, team news

The USWNT square off against New Zealand once again on Friday, as Vlatko Andonovski’s side look to start 2023 with back-to-back wins against the Football Ferns.

WATCH NEW ZEALAND v USWNT

After their 4-0 defeat of New Zealand on Wednesday in Wellington, there are still plenty of questions swirling around the USWNT ahead of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this summer.

Trinity Rodman and Mallory Swanson were key in the victory earlier this week, while Alex Morgan and Rose Lavelle were as creative and clinical as always.

Below is everything you need to know for New Zealand vs USWNT in Auckland.

USWNT team news

It is likely to be a similar lineup from Vlatko Andonovski as he tries to build chemistry in this team but you would expect him to rotate in the likes of Kristie Mewis and start Trinity Rodman, Lynn Williams and Sofia Huerta.

The USWNT’s attack looked a lot slicker in the second half of their win in Wellington and getting crosses into the box for their plethora of talented forwards and attacking midfielders to finish is the main aim for the reigning World Cup champs.

Swanson leads USWNT burst past New Zealand (video highlights)

Mallory Swanson scored two goals as the United States women’s national team returned to the pitch with a 4-0 win over New Zealand in the first of two January friendlies.

Swanson, previously called Mallory Pugh prior to her marriage to Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson, led an attack that out-attempted the hosts 15-2 and put seven shots on target with 75 percent possession.

The match was 0-0 at halftime when Swanson sandwiched her two goals around Alex Morgan’s 120th goal for the USWNT. Her 0.60 goals per match total trails only Michelle Akers and Abby Wambach in the top ten for USWNT scorers. Lynn Williams completed the scoring with her 15th marker in the shirt.
