It was recently announced that the Swope Park Rangers and head coach Nikola Popovic have mutually agreed to part ways. This is the second straight year that Sporting Kansas City will be looking to replace a very successful coach with the Rangers.
In Swope Park’s first season, Marc Dos Santos led the Rangers through the Western Conference playoffs where they ultimately fell in the USL Cup Final. Dos Santos left to coach the San Francisco Deltas in the NASL.
Nikola Popovic stepped up from his assistant role of the first season to being the head coach for Swope Park.
