Craig Waibel has been named Garth Lagerwey’s successor, again.
The Seattle Sounders made the news official on Wednesday ahead of a press conference planned for later in the day. Waibel will carry the title of general manager and chief soccer officer, but Lagerwey’s “president of soccer” role will apparently be left unfilled. It is expected that there will be some re-organization on the soccer side to spread out some of Lagerwey’s other responsibilities.
“I am excited to get to work,” Waibel said in a team release. “This is a special organization and I embrace the high expectations that this club has of itself.
