Jose Mourinho fired, Richmond Kickers gain new ownership, and more: Freedom Kicks for December 19, 2018

Happy Wednesday everyone. Tuesday started off just absolutely bonkers, and it didn’t stop the entire day. Let’s jump right into it:

Jose Mourinho was fired as we all woke up yesterday morning, leaving Manchester United 19 points behind Liverpool in the table after they lost at Anfield 3-1 Sunday. The Special One is back on the unemployment line.

The Richmond Kickers gain new ownership in the form of former player Rob Ukrop and his company, 22 Holdings LLC.

Zack Steffen won the award for best United States Men’s National Team player in 2018, capping off a year where he also won MLS Goalkeeper of the Year and signed a pre-contract with Manchester City.
