Brian Ching named Managing Director of Houston Dash

Announced shortly before lunchtime today, Brian Ching, retired Houston Dynamo forward, will become the first Managing Director of the Houston Dash.

Brian was quoted as saying, "I’m excited about it. When I stopped playing, I didn’t think that I would be this excited about being in the front office." He also went on to add, "I think it’s a great opportunity for us to grow the Dynamo brand and make Dash just as successful as the Dynamo both on & off the field."

I, for one, am excited to see Brian Ching slip into this role with the newest member of the NWSL for 2014. He has been a supporter of women's soccer in Houston, and now he has an opportunity to really further the game for girls of all ages in this city.

What are your thoughts?
