2 different MLS coaches will now have to find other plans for the summer. Both the Vancouver Whitecaps and the Chicago Fire announced that they were sacking their managers today.
The expansion Vancouver Whitecaps sacked head coach Teitur Thordarson. They haven't won since downing TFC on opening day, and they've compiled a 1-5-6 record, worst in the Western Conference. He will be replaced by Director of Soccer Operations Tom Soehn for the rest of the year. Thordarson was the manager for the Whitecaps at the Division II level and stayed on to start the MLS campaign.
The Chicago Fire have been off to an equally bad start in the Eastern Conference. They've only managed a 1-4-6 record so far. Today they sacked head man Carlos de los Cobos. Cobos was the manager last year as well, and the Fire missed the playoffs for only the second time in their history. He will be replaced by Technical Director Frank Klopas on an interim basis.
The Whitecaps and the Fire played to a draw earlier this year.
