Real Salt Lake Head Coach Mike Petke will not be available for RSL’s Fourth Round matchup in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup while he attends a course for U.S. Soccer’s Pro Coaching License. The course is mandatory toward the completion of the top coaching license offered by U.S. Soccer.
In Petke’s absence, RSL Assistant Coach Freddy Juarez will serve as Head Coach in the match. Previously, Juarez served as Head Coach of the RSL Academy before landing the position of Real Monarchs SLC Head Coach in the USL club’s inaugural season in 2015. He served in that role for two seasons before being elevated to his current role as RSL Assistant Coach prior to the 2017 season.
