Across State Lines: Conrad Named Technical Director of USL League 2 Team

Sporting Kansas City legend, Jimmy Conrad has kept himself involved in the game of soccer since his retirement from the playing field back in 2011. He’s done broadcast spots as well as his YouTube channel and social media presence. One thing he hasn’t really done since retiring is return to the field, specifically the sideline as a coach. That is set to change as this past week it was announced that Conrad has been named the Technical Director and assistant coach of the San Francisco Glens of the USL League 2 (formerly the PDL). The Glens just finished up their first season in the PDL last year though they were founded in 1961. The club went 4-6-4 in their first season and finished seventh in the nine team Southwest Division. It’ll be interesting to watch Conrad make the transition to the sidelines and coaching.

Here’s the rest of this week’s update.
