According to a statement from the team, the move allows Donovan to focus on his role as co-owner and EVP of Soccer Operations.
SAN DIEGO - As he calls games and offers commentary half a world away in Qatar, Landon Donovan was named Friday executive vice president of Soccer Operations for San Diego Loyal SC, while his assistant will take over coaching duties.
The team promoted associate head coach Nate Miller to head coach of the squad. Entering his fourth season with SD Loyal, Miller was first introduced as associate head coach in January 2020. "It's a tremendous honor to represent this club on the field and in the community," Miller said."I am extremely proud of the identity we have formed, the culture we have created, and the success we have achieved up to this point. We are building something very special in San Diego and I am excited to lead this team to achieve our ambitious goals."
"There isn't a better coach suited to take the lead managing our club than Nate Miller," Donovan said."We've built a club here in San Diego that this community has embraced and come to expect a lot from, and Nate's tireless work ethic has been a big part of that. We owe it to our fans to maintain the highest level of play on the field and promoting Nate Miller to head coach continues that commitment.
