OTTAWA — Manuel Vega has been named chief executive officer of Atletico Ottawa, succeeding Fernando Lopez who left earlier this year.
The 33-year-old Mexican joins the Canadian Premier League team from Mexico's Puebla FC, where he had been director of corporate relations since 2023. He previously was Puebla's sporting co-ordinator and director of youth development.
Vega's first priority is finding a head coach to replace Carlos Gonzalez, who stepped down last week after three years in charge. Vega will be assisted by assistant general manager J.D. Ulanowski and director of youth development Drew Beckie, a former Ottawa player and Canadian youth international, as well as chief operating officer Jon Sinden.
