New York Red Bulls Fire Manager Chris Armas

HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — New York Red Bulls have fired coach Chris Armas after a little more than two years on the job.

The MLS team also said Friday that assistant coach CJ Brown will not be back.

The Red Bulls have three wins (3-4-2) in nine games in a season paused and restarted because of the coronavirus pandemic. New York dropped a 1-0 decision to DC United on Wednesday.

An interim head coach will be hired soon, Kevin Thelwell, the team’s head of sport, said.

“In this business, we have to make difficult decisions based on performances and, fundamentally, results,” Thelwell said in a statement.
