Raphael Wicky is out as Chicago Fire coach, ESPN television analyst Taylor Twellman has reported.
The decision came after one of the Fire's better performances of the season in beating New York City FC 2-0. But with a record of 7-15-6, Chicago's chances of reaching the postseason have long been slim, and the win still left the Fire in 12th place in the 14-team Eastern Conference, 12 points behind Orlando City for the seventh and final play spot.

It's unknown at the moment who will manage the Fire for the last six games of the regular season, though assistant coach Frank Klopas managed the team from 2011-13 and later managed Montreal from 2013-15.
