NASL hire EPL Talk’s Kartik Krishnaiyer as Director of Public Relations
The North American Soccer League (NASL) has announced the hiring of renowned journalist and blogger Kartik Krishnaiyer as the Director of Communications and Public Relations.
He is best known as the host of the podcasts of EPL Talk and Major League Soccer Talk, although he’s done quite a bit more in the world of football – he was host of the American Soccer Show on Champions Sports Radio Network (2007-2008) and has been a prolific football blogger on EPL Talk, MLS Talk, Soccerlens and lately on The Kartik Report and the Manchester City Blog.
Based on the terms of his ‘signing’, Kartik will stop writing for Major League Soccer Talk and The Kartik Report on January 31st, 2010. He will also quit EPL Talk after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa this summer. This is mainly due to the overlap in his role as the PR director for a football league and his position as a commentator on the same league / footballing region.
He should be able to continue writing on the Manchester City blog (fingers crossed).
This is a fantastic opportunity for Kartik and I’m really happy for him – he’s worked his socks off and while there are aspects of his work that polarize opinions, there’s no doubting his knowledge and professionalism and he should be able to put those qualities to good use in his new role.
Good luck mate.
