78 - Tyrone Mears

In this episode of United Soccer Lounge, we dive deep into Tyrone Mears, the former Premier League star and inaugural head coach of Fort Lauderdale United FC, who has just been elevated to President of Soccer.

We'll break down what this means for the club's ambitious growth in South Florida, including the appointment of Ali Rogers as the new head coach—the third woman in the league to hold the position and the first in club history. Hear exclusive insights on Mears' vision for creating a seamless pathway from youth academies to pro levels, his quotes like "Our No. 1 goal is to provide a clear pathway from youth to the pro level on both sides," and how this move positions Fort Lauderdale United as a powerhouse in women's and men's soccer.
