Ellis, in joining FIFA, will work as part of the world governing body’s executive management team.
She will help drive the development and implementation of FIFA’s global football strategy.
According to inside.fifa.com:
Ellis has a rich pedigree of success and vast experience in football, both on and off the pitch, as the only two-time FIFA Women’s World Cup-winning head coach after leading the U.S. Women’s National Team to back-to-back titles in 2015 and 2019. More recently, she was President of the pioneering San Diego Wave FC, successfully guiding the club to the NWSL Shield in only its second year of existence.
In her new role, Ellis will work alongside Arsène Wenger, FIFA’s Chief of Global Football Development, and her responsibilities will encompass key technical areas connected to the development of the game across the world.
