The Major League Soccer board of governors held a closed-door meeting at the league’s headquarters in midtown Manhattan on Monday, before voting LAFC co-managing owner Larry Berg to be Don Garber’s replacement and the third-ever MLS commissioner.
Berg, 60, will be officially introduced on Tuesday. Garber, 68, will step down at the end of the calendar year after nearly 30 years at the helm, with Berg set to assume the position beginning Jan. 1. Berg received the required two-thirds super majority to succeed Garber, beating out the other finalist, David Nathanson, a former Fox executive.
