He acknowledges the challenges of adapting to the NWSL but emphasizes his commitment to the team's success.
Donovan aims to build a strong team culture and improve both the players' soccer skills and personal lives.
The Wave, currently in 10th place, will face Santa Fe FC in Donovan's debut match as interim coach.
