Angel City FC has appointed Angela Hucles Mangano to general manager, a promotion from her previous position as VP of Player Development and Operations. The NWSL expansion team made the announcement on Monday, August 15th.
In a similar move, Eniola Aluko will be promoted to the new role of Director of Recruiting.
Hucles Mangano, as general manager, will “oversee coaching and the first team, player care, medical and performance, sports science, soccer operations, all wellness programs and resources, and the development and management of the team’s to-be-announced bespoke practice facility in Los Angeles,” according to the club.
She will continue to work with the Angel City Player 22 Future Program, which she developed to assist former NWSL players in pursuing careers in sports.
“From the moment Angela joined Angel City last year, she has been a force across our organization, bringing her ‘whole athlete’ mentality to the sporting business, the front office, and our community,” club founder Julie Uhrman said in a statement. “She is an incredible, inspiring leader who pushes us to be better, go farther, and do more. She understands what our players and coaching staff need to be successful and how we can make an authentic impact in our community. We couldn’t be more thrilled to elevate Angela into this important role and look forward to many new milestones to come.”
Hucles Mangano was a member of the United States women’s national team in the early years. She was a member of the squad that won two gold medals and competed in 109 matches.
