MONTREAL - With its third season in MLS almost concluded, the Montreal Impact unveiled its plans for the future on Thursday, making a number of important announcements in order to consolidate the clubs structure, both on the technical and administrative levels. The Impact recruited three new members to its management team: Marc Bourassa, Chief Revenue Officer; Hugues Léger, Chief Marketing Officer, and André Côté, Chief Strategic Officer. "We decided to add experience and depth to our administration," said Impact President Joey Saputo. "These are three new positions in vital areas within the company. They will all be mandated to help grow the club, through transparency and accessibility." Marc Bourassa was Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Sun Media and Le Journal de Montréal, as well as Director General of Advertising with La Presse. Hugues Leger worked recently at Brad as a Vice-President. He has also worked internationally as a Brand Manager and Director of Development for Inbev (brewing company) and Imperial Tobacco. Finally, Andre Cote has contributed to the success of the Cirque du Soleil at all levels for nearly 20 years, including as Vice-President of Marketing and Communications. The club also announced new roles for Richard Legendre and Nick De Santis. Legendre will become the new Executive Vice-President of Soccer Operations and Stade Saputo. He will oversee soccer operations, the construction of the new training centre, the launch of the new USL team and the administrative management of the technical department. He will also be the club representative at the Fédération de Soccer du Québec, the Canadian Soccer Association and the US Soccer Federation. De Santis has been appointed as the Director of International Business Development. He will be responsible for establishing and maintaining contacts, while forging partnerships with clubs targeted around the world. In this new structure, Frank Klopas will remain head coach and Director of Player Personnel in MLS, while Matt Jordan will remain as Technical Director and Philippe Eullaffroy will retain his role as Director of the Academy. "Due to the growth and success of the Academy, we want to establish a more coherent philosophy at all levels and a better defined identity," said Joey Saputo. "We want to offer better guidance to our young players, becoming the leader of Quebec soccer here and around the world." Finally, the club will implement various technical partnerships with amateur clubs across the province to help them progress, but also to better track the best young local talent. "Today, we are making a firm commitment to continue our growth, both on the field and off of it," concluded Joey Saputo. "We will continue to build this club in order to bring it to the highest level." Also announced Thursday was that the Impact are finalizing a project to create a new training centre, close to Stade Saputo on Notre-Dame Street, in the old historic building of the Caserne Letourneux. The objective is to accommodate four fields, two natural and two synthetic, with the centre operational in 2015. Through a unique partnership with the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough, the Academy and the first team will be installed permanently in this location. Synthetic fields will also be available to local soccer organizations. The purchase offer for the building has been accepted and discussions are advanced to finalize the agreement protocol with the borough. The investment for the building, upgrading and redesign of the fields will be fully supported by the Montreal Impact. The Impact will also add a second professional team in Quebec with the creation of a new team in USL Pro called FC Montreal for the 2015 season. The new team will be composed predominantly of young Quebec players from our U18 and U23 teams."It is a major change in our structure and the development of soccer in Quebec," added Joey Saputo. "This new team will serve as the final step and transition for our young players before joining MLS. We believe that it is the best way to prepare them for the top league in North American soccer." The agreement with USL Pro will be finalized in the coming weeks. Rodrigo Bentancur Jersey . Szabados joined the Southern Professional Hockey League team last week.

After going 24-0 in Japans Pacific League last season, Tanaka agreed this week to a $155 million, seven-year contract with New York. "The game is pitching," Jeter said Friday at the Yankees minor league complex. "If you have great pitching, you always have an opportunity to win. From everything Ive heard, hes going to be quite an addition to our team." Tanaka was 99-35 with a 2.30 ERA in seven seasons with the Rakuten Golden Eagles, striking out 1,238 in 1,315 innings. He joins a rotation that includes CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda and Ivan Nova. Following just the second season in 19 years that didnt include a playoff appearance, the Yankees also agreed to deals during the off-season with catcher Brian McCannn ($85 million for five years) and outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury ($153 million for seven) and Carlos Beltran ($45 million for three).dddddddddddd "Our team has been known to make financial commitments to a lot of people throughout the course of the year," Jeter said. "Any time you have ownership thats willing to spend money and trying to do whatever they can to make the team better, it feels good for us as players." The 39-year-old Jeter finished his first week of on-field work, which included hitting off a tee in a batting cage and fielding grounders on the grass in front of the infield dirt. He said he feels good. After breaking an ankle during the 2012 playoffs, Jeter limited to 17 games last year when he was slowed by injuries to his right quadriceps and calf. He hit .190 (12 for 63) with one homer and seven RBIs.
