Two years ago, with Orange County SC set to end short of the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time, general manager Oliver Wyss fired Braeden Cloutier, the longest-serving manager in team history, and replaced him with Richard Chaplow. Under the interim coach the club went unbeaten over its final nine games and not only made the playoffs, but won its only USL Championship.
This May, with OCSC following the worst season in team history by winning just one of its first eight games, Wyss fired Chaplow and replaced him with Morten Karlsen.
