After the sacking of Richard Feuz, the Chicago Stars have made an addition to the front office.
Today, the Chicago Stars announced that they have hired Kate Cohen as their interim technical consultant.
“We’re eager to add Kate’s vast knowledge and analytical experience to our Sporting staff during this crucial point in the season,” said Chicago Stars FC President Karen Leetzow. “Kate has made significant contributions at every stage of her career through her expertise in scouting and talent identification,
and we look forward to the impact she will make on our club and roster as we head into the second half of the NWSL season.”
“I’m excited and grateful to be entrusted to support the Stars during this crucial summer period as the club looks towards the second half of the season and new sporting leadership,” said Cohen.
Cohen has a vast history of experience including six years with Football Australia for the Young Matildas, the Australian Women’s National Team and Men’s National Team. She was also recognized as one of ‘the 50 Most Influential Women in Australian Sport.’
She also served as Opposition Analyst for the USWNT before being promoted to Lead Analyst.
Most recently, she worked with Kansas City Current (NWSL) as Head of Scouting and Analytics.
“With the Chicago Stars, Cohen will advise the club’s sporting staff on player recruitment and provide technical input on roster construction during the international transfer window while the club continues its search to fill the General Manager vacancy. The Stars have retained Bloom Sports, a leading sports advisory firm, to assist in the search.”
