The Rangers have found their man, and he was here all along.
Nikola Popovic was announced as the new head coach for the Swope Park Rangers today. Having been here for the inaugural season as an Assistant Coach, Popovic was part of the magic that led to such a successful year. He knows the players. He knows the club’s philosophy. He knows what worked and he knows what didn’t.
This is the perfect choice for Sporting KC as there should be a seamless transition. Popovic can pick up right where they left off and help all of that exciting young talent continue to blossom.
