Major League Soccer announces revised diversity hiring policy

Major League Soccer announced Tuesday that it will require teams to advance at least two non-White candidates to the final round of job interviews. The new requirement comes as the league is revamping its diversity hiring policy. 

The league previously required teams looking for new coaches or staff members to interview at least one candidate from an "diverse candidate," similar to the NFL's "Rooney Rule."  The policy has now been updated to require teams to keep at least two non-White candidates in every round of interviews. 

The league also said it will fine teams that don't follow the policy, and will update the hiring requirements each year.
