What happened: The Philadelphia Union announced that Jon Scheer has been named the club's Sporting Director. The appointment follows the departure of Bradley Carnell from the organization, filling a key front-office role.

Why it matters: The hire reshapes a Union front office that has been in flux since GM Ernst Tanner was suspended following a club probe. Scheer now assumes roster-building and recruitment authority for a side competing in the 2026 MLS regular season.

What to watch: Watch how Scheer approaches the upcoming summer transfer window and whether he keeps the current coaching setup intact.
