Real Salt Lake announced on Wednesday that Head Coach Jeff Cassar would be retained for the 2017 season after his contract expired following the 2016 season.
Now three years into his tenure as RSL’s bench boss, Cassar has the support of players throughout the RSL roster and some of them weighed in after his signing.
Forward Yura Movsisyan returned to Real Salt Lake prior to the 2016 season after spending six years playing abroad in Denmark and Russia. He finished with nine goals and three assists in his first season back in MLS and noted that Cassar was instrumental in his return to the Claret-and-Cobalt.
