Markgraf, a former U.S. defender and 2023 Hall of Fame inductee, led the search for Jill Ellis’s replacement as coach. It didn’t work out as anyone might have hoped.
Markgraf, a former U.S. defender and 2023 Hall of Fame inductee, was hired in August 2019 as the first GM for the women’s program. That fall, she spearheaded the search for a coach to replace Jill Ellis, who guided the team to back-to-back World Cup titles.
Markgraf also took on the responsibilities of working with Andonovski in executing technical plans for the national team and youth programs.two years ago, the U.S. team this summer stumbled through the group stage before losing to Sweden in the round of 16. It marked the first time the four-time champions failed to advance to the semifinals.In the past seven months, sporting director Earnie Stewart and men’s general manager Brian McBride also have left the U.S. Soccer Federation.
Markgraf’s departure comes as her boss, Matt Crocker, the new sporting director, aims to reshape both the men’s and women’s programs.“There’s been a lot of great work that has been done by the sporting staff on the women’s side of the game at U.S. Soccer, which means we are starting from a position of strength,” Crocker said in a statement.
“It has been an incredible honor to work with the players, coaches and staff at U.S. Soccer on the mission of keeping our program at the top of the women’s game,” Markgraf said in a statement. “I am proud of the foundation we have built, and even more proud of the character and commitment demonstrated by our players as they represent the United States on and off the field.”
Markgraf will remain on the job through the end of the month to assist in the transition, the USSF said.
