A report from U.K.-based freelance journalist Pete O’Rourke claims that New York Red Bulls are preparing an approach for Austrian manager Gerhard Struber, currently in charge of English second division club Barnsley.
Though the reports by O’Rourke as well as local Barnsley reporter Doug O’Kane indicate that the situation (should it exist) is still in the early stages and Struber is still present and working at the Football League Championship club, it marks one of the first links seen thus far as New York seeks a new head coach after dismissing Chris Armas earlier this month.
