(Reuters) - Former Canadian men's national team captain Jason deVos has been named interim general secretary of Canada Soccer, the national governing body said on Tuesday.
DeVos, who earned 49 caps with the national team from 1997-2004, will step into the role on May 12 to succeed Earl Cochrane, whose departure was announced last week.
Nick Bontis stepped down from his role as Canada Soccer president in February and acknowledged that change was needed to expedite labour peace with the men's and women's teams.
