Just under two years after his controversial firing by the New York Red Bulls, former MetroStars/Red Bulls legend Mike Petke has made his return to the coaching ranks as the newly appointed Head Coach of USL side Real Monarchs.
Brian Dunseth tweeted out prior to his show on Sirius XM that Petke had been "newly-minted" as the Monarchs HC - and the club would confirm via a Retweet on their official Twitter page only minutes later.
Oh, and newly minted @RealMonarchs Head Coach @petkemike joins us at 5.
