MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis soccer star Tim Howard is stepping down from his position as Sporting Director for Memphis 901 FC, the football club announced Wednesday.
Howard is one of the original club founders and has served as Sporting Director since 2019. He is also a National Soccer Hall of Famer.
901 FC said Assistant Sporting Director Caleb Patterson-Sewell will take over as Sporting Director for the rest of the season.
“After a great five years with Memphis 901 FC, I am departing my roles with the club to pursue other opportunities,” said Howard in a statement. “I am extremely thankful to Peter Freund and everyone at the club for giving me the opportunity to help them build the organization from the ground up, and I am proud of our accomplishments. I wish the club and the community a bright future ahead and will always remain a massive supporter of 901 FC.”
“It’s been an honor to have Tim as part of this club and we have built a lifelong friendship that will always be grounded in what we built together in Memphis,” said 901 FC Principal Owner Peter Freund.
Memphis 901 FC travels Saturday to face Las Vegas Lights FC.
