Real Salt Lake manager Jeff Cassar fired
Jeff Swinger-USA TODAY SportsSaturday’s 2-1 come from behind victory on the road for the LA Galaxy was a tough defeat for Real Salt Lake, who were basically cruising until a silly Kyle Beckerman challenge less than a minute before the halftime whistle sabotaged their game plan and set the stage for LA to mount a comeback.
Then RSL issued a club statement Monday afternoon, and just like that, head coach Jeff Cassar has been let go just three games into the 2017 season.
What happened? The timing of the move is odd but the logic is sound, as the Armchair Analyst explains.
