THE BIGGER PICTURE: The news comes after Sporting KC boss Peter Vermes revealed that he turned down interest from U.S. Soccer, as did Philadelphia Union sporting director Ernst Tanner, according to the Athletic. Oguchi Onyewu, the former USMNT center-back, is reportedly among the candidates for the job.
When Stewart was in charge, he oversaw both the men's and women's national teams, with general managers Brian McBride and Kate Markgraf working with each team. McBride has also departed U.S. Soccer, announcing in January that he would move on from the role.
