Taylor Twellman has left the building.
On Friday, the longtime ESPN soccer analyst announced on social media that he would be leaving the company after 13 years.
“I can’t believe it’s been almost 13 years @ESPN. I have learned from the best and enjoyed every second of our soccer coverage: World Cup, UEFA, MLS, US Soccer, FA Cups, Open Cups – you name it. Hosting @SportsCenter and other programs as a former pro athlete has been a dream come true. The constructive criticism was vital and so important. I’ve met so many people that are great at their craft in front and behind the camera. However, the best part is I’ve met friends for life and for that I’m grateful. We will see each other again down the road but for now, thank you,” Twellman wrote.
It is unclear where the 42-year-old is taking his talents next. One possible destination just might be Apple TV+, which will broadcast all MLS games beginning in 2023.
Last year, it was reported Apple signed a 10-year deal with MLS worth $250 million per year. Twellman played in the MLS from 2002-2010 and scored 101 goals.
Since retiring he has been one of the top color commentators at ESPN for soccer broadcasts.
