The Portland Timbers announced that they have given their technical director Ned Grabavoy a new multi-year extension.
Ever since joining Portland’s technical staff ahead of the 2017 season as director of scouting and recruitment following a 13-year career playing in MLS, including a season with Timbers. In 2018, he was promoted to his current role as technical director in December of that year.
“It has been a priority for us to get Ned’s contract extended and it is well deserved,” said Timbers GM and president of soccer Gavin Wilkinson. “He continues to add amazing value to our organization and has had a fast development curve during his time in the front office. We are excited he will be staying with us.”
Grabavoy manages and oversees all aspects of scouting, recruitment, and potential player acquisitions for the club. He works closely with the GM on roster management, construction, and player contract execution.
Ned Grabavoy immediately expressed his gratefulness towards his bosses and stating how fortunate he has been a part of this incredible organization for more than five years. “I would like to thank Merritt Paulson and Gavin Wilkinson for their continued support, and I look forward to continuing my efforts in advancing the club in a positive direction.”
