The ChicagoFire hired former U.S. youth coach Raphael Wicky as their coach Friday, the latest move in a makeover by the struggling MLS team.
Wicky is also a former coach of the Swiss club Basel. He is leaving his job as coach of the U.S. under-17 team to join the Fire.
“Chicago is a world-class sports city and this club has a bright future, both on and off the field,” Wicky said. “I can’t wait to get started.” Wicky was hired in March to coach the U.S. under-17 team, which failed to advance past the group stage at the Under-17 World Cup for the second time in three tournaments. The Americans finished with a draw, two losses and a minus-seven goal difference, their worst at the FIFA under-17 event.
