A legend of soccer journalism in the U.S. Congrats to Paul on an amazing career, even as he continues on as a writer.
And I know @MikeWoitalla will do a wonderful job stepping in as Editor in Chief.
Today is my last day as Soccer America’s Editor in Chief & General Manager. I have been editing SA for almost 41 years. I began writing for SA in 1974 and for France Football in 1978. A long time ago! I’ve loved just about every minute of it (and just about all of you!) but the job is hard work and I look forward to cutting back. (I’ll continue to write.) SA will be in great hands as my dear friend Mike Woitalla takes over as Editor in Chief. 🙏
