D.C. United is expected to make Lucy Rushton the second female general manager in Major League Soccer history, according to Sportico.
Rushton has served the last five years as Atlanta United's head of technical recruitment and analysis, where she led the club's scouting department with a data-driven approach. Before joining Atlanta United, the Reading, U.K. native was the head of technical scouting with Championship side Reading and had previously worked in Watford's scouting department.
At the moment, Rushton would become the second female general manager in major American professional sports after the Marlins hired Kim Ng in November.
