A week after naming Georg Heitz sporting director, the Chicago Fire have a new coach to work under him.
The Fire announced Raphael Wicky as the team’s head coach Friday. Wicky joins the Fire after most recently coaching the under-17 national team for U.S. Soccer. He also managed Swiss club FC Basel during the 2017-18 season.
“This is a position that comes with a lot of responsibility, and I can promise the fans and everyone at the club that I will work hard and give my all,” Wicky said in a statement released by the club.
