Chicago Fire FC is looking for an outstanding Pre-Academy Manager to build and lead a high-performance program for players. This is a rare opportunity to shape something from the ground up: to help define how the club identifies, develops, and prepares the next generation of Academy talent.
 
At its core, this is a coach-leader role. The person we are looking for is as comfortable on the training pitch as they are designing systems and leading people. They will bring a strong on-field presence, a sharp eye for talent, and the vision and drive to build a program that becomes a cornerstone of the club's long-term player development strategy.
 
Working closely with the Academy Director and Head of Recruitment, the Pre-Academy Manager will establish a best-with-best training environment, build a trusted pre-academy scouting network across the Chicagoland area, and create the processes and culture that give every player the best possible chance of progressing into the U13 Academy.
