Brian Bliss has joined Sporting Kansas City as the the club's director of player personnel, the team announced on Tuesday.
He will assist in scouting as well as overseeing player personnel matters and helping the club's academy, the club said.
The former United States international worked as the Chicago Fire's technical director for the past two seasons and took over as interim coach after Frank Yallop was fired in September.
Bliss also spent six years working for the Columbus Crew and was interim coach there in 2013.
The 50-year-old played for the Kansas City Wizards in 1998 before serving as an assistant coach for the club from 2000-2006.
