Angel City president and GM barred from player transactions for salary-cap violation

LA Times  

The NWSL suspended Angel City president and CEO Julie Uhrman from conducting any duties related to player transactions for the remainder of the 2024 calendar year after the league determined the team violated salary-cap rules. Angel City was hit with multiple penalties Thursday after an investigation by the Women’s National Soccer League determined it violated the league’s salary cap. Angel City was fined $200,000, was handed a three-point deduction in the standings and president Julie Uhrman and general manager Angela Hucles Mangano were suspended from any duties related to player transactions for the remainder of the 2024 calendar year. The three-point deduction dropped Angel City to 12th in the 14-team table with 19 points, leaving it four places and nine points out of a playoff berth with four games to play, crippling the team’s slim postseason hopes heading into Friday’s game with the Reign in Seattle.
