Feilhaber will take over for Paulo Nagamura, who ended his tenure as SKC II manager in November to pursue other coaching opportunities and has since been named the head coach of Houston Dynamo.
This news comes after Feilhaber joined Sporting’s technical staff last year, leaving his previous position as an assistant coach with the UCLA men’s soccer program. This is the 36-year-old’s first head coaching job in professional soccer.
