Live from Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta United FC introduces to the media and fans to the new club President & CEO Garth Lagerwey.
Atlanta United FC announced Lagerwey on Tuesday, November 22 as president and chief executive officer. Lagerwey, most-recently general manager and president of soccer of Major League Soccer’s Seattle Sounders, has signed a multi-year contract and will assume leadership of Atlanta United, Atlanta United 2 and the Atlanta United Academy effective today.
Lagerwey comes to Atlanta after a very successful run in Seattle where he led the Sounders to the 2022 Concacaf Champions League title earlier this year, as well as MLS Cup championships in 2019 and 2016 and made the MLS Cup final on two other occasions. His Sounders team also reached the Leagues Cup Final in 2021.
Before his move to Seattle, Lagerwey served as general manager and senior vice president of soccer operations for MLS’s Real Salt Lake, guiding the team to its lone MLS title in 2009 and one other appearance in the MLS Cup final. His Salt Lake teams also reached the US Open Cup final in 2013 and in 2011 RSL became the first MLS team to reach the Concacaf Champions League Final.
