This new may have been partly lost back in the winter when we were all discussing a new CBA but
there was once some talk of MLS commissioner Don Garber getting a new deal. An expensive one. Well,
today that deal has been finalized.
Don Garber has signed a new 4-year deal to remain commissioner of Major League Soccer. The deal
includes incentives and bonuses that could end up being worth about $3 million per year. Garber
signed on with MLS in 1999 after working at the NFL for over 15 years and has been the driving
force behind the creation of Soccer United Marketing (SUM), development of soccer specific
stadiums, the designated player rule, the 2010 CBA, and expansion, which has attracted nine new
owners in six years.
