Don Garber Locked In For Another 5-Years.

Don Garber will remain commissioner of Major League Soccer for at least the next five years.

Garber also will keep his position as CEO of Soccer United Marketing, according to ESPN, which first reported the news.

Garber has played a key role in helping the league find sound financial footing and expand, while also helping to improve the quality of American soccer and the games awareness across the country.

MLS saw both the Tampa Bay Mutiny and Miami Fusion fold in 2001 less than two years into Garbers time as top executive and remained at 10 teams until 2005.
