Freddy Juarez named first-team assistant coach; Richie Williams out, Eck no longer coach

Real Salt Lake just shuffled their coaching staff, with assistant coach Richie Williams leaving the club and Monarchs coach Freddy Juarez joining the first-team staff, according to a club-issued press release.

The release also seems to have indicated that RSL coach Ted Eck is no longer with the club, given this line: “(Juarez) now completes out the coaching staff under Cassar, which continues to include Tyrone Marshall and Daryl Shore.”

RSL Communications indicated that Eck is still on the soccer staff but is no longer part of the coaching staff.

That move will ripple through the RSL structure; as a result of this, Real Monarchs will be searching for a new coach ahead of their third season in the league.
