David Beckham’s yet-to-be-named Miami Major League Soccer team now has a general manager. The team confirmed to the Miami Herald Thursday morning the hiring of Atlanta United Vice President Paul McDonough, one of the top executives in the league.
McDonough, whose title will be Sporting Director, will work closely with the Miami ownership group and report directly to Managing Owner Jorge Mas as well as Beckham, whose title is Owner and President of Football Operations. He will be responsible for building the team’s roster and leading the sports operations.
McDonough has been a huge part of Atlanta’s success on and off the field.
