CHESTER, Pa. -- Former U.S. national team star Earnie Stewart has fulfilled his dream of returning to the United States.
Stewart was officially introduced Thursday as the Philadelphia Union's sporting director, taking over player personnel operations for the MLS club after spending 10 years as a soccer executive in the Netherlands.
Stewart, who made over 100 appearances for the U.S. national team, most recently worked as the director of football affairs at AZ Alkmaar.
"There have been questions asked about what my next step would be after AZ Alkmaar because things went pretty well over there," Stewart said.
