The Real Monarchs have “mutually agreed to part ways” with assistant coach Danny Cruz, the team announced Thursday.
Jason Mims, who is part of the Real Salt Lake Academy coaching staff, will take over for Cruz effective immediately, according to a team release.
Cruz took a job as an assistant coach with Louisville City FC, a team spokesperson told The Salt Lake Tribune. Louisville’s coach, John Hackworth, coached Cruz when he was a member of the Philadelphia Union from 2012-2014.
In another coaching development announced Thursday, RSL defender David Horst is set to join the Monarchs coaching staff under interim head coach Jamison Olave for the remainder of the 2018 season.
