Jason deVos, who is currently the governing body’s director of development, steps in for Earl Cochrane whose departure as Canada Soccer’s top staffer was announced Thursday
Former Canada captain Jason deVos has been named interim general secretary of Canada Soccer.
President Nick Bontis resigned in late February, acknowledging change is needed to conclude the ongoing labour dispute with the Canadian men’s national teams. “On behalf of the board, I want to thank Jason for taking on this responsibility at an important time,” Canada Soccer interim president Charmaine Crooks said in a statement. “We look forward to working alongside Jason and the transition team as we continue to work collectively towards building and growing the game in Canada.”
Canada Soccer says deVos, who takes on the new role May 12, “will become the operational leader of the organization, working closely with the board of directors, in consultation with the Canada Soccer membership and key stakeholders.”
