Orlando Pride Name Caitlin Carducci Vice President of Soccer Operations and General Manager

She prioritizes operational efficiency to sustain the Pride’s recent success.

Overview

  • Orlando announced the hire Tuesday, filling the role vacated in November when Haley Carter left for the Washington Spirit.
  • CARDUCCI arrives from the Kansas City Current, where her lone full season as GM produced a record-setting 2025 NWSL Shield before a November front-office reshuffle ended her tenure.
  • She told ESPN she does not plan sweeping changes and will focus on making operations more efficient while building collaboratively with head coach Seb Hines.
  • Recent roster moves occurred before her arrival, including trading defender Emily Sams to Angel City for $650,000 in intraleague funds and adding defenders Hailie Mace and Hannah Anderson.
  • With limited roster flexibility, she is assessing contract timelines and potential use of forthcoming league mechanisms such as the High Impact Player rule as preseason camp approaches.
