Following a slow and sluggish start to the new year, RSL has dismissed head coach Jeff Cassar. Real Salt Lake has not won a match since August of last year. Cassar’s overall stint has mostly been filled with frustration, as the team struggled at various time throughout his tenure.
Cassar took over for Jason Kreis following Real’s 2013 MLS Cup run, after Kreis announced he would be moving on from RSL and leading NYCFC in their inaugural season. Kreis led RSL through the most successful years in the club’s short history, and Cassar definitely had large shoes to fill.
