"It is an honor to become part of Angel City Football Club, a trailblazing and ambitious organization setting new standards in the game," Parsons said. "I am grateful to [majority owners] Willow [Bay], Bob [Iger], and Julie [Uhrman, club president] for their trust and look forward to working closely with ownership and the exceptional leadership team to build on the solid foundation they’ve established. My focus is to foster a culture of excellence, development, and togetherness that elevates ACFC to new heights, with the goal of bringing championships home to the city of Los Angeles."
"Mark brings exceptional experience in the domestic and global game,” Uhrman added. "As we enter 2025 with the opening of our state-of-the-art 50,000-square-foot performance center, Mark will lead our sporting operations, driving our culture and championship ambitions alongside our outstanding leadership team and staff. Together, we aim to set a high standard for excellence, on and off the pitch, and we’re ready to bring home the championship in this exciting new chapter."
