Meola Fired by Jacksonville - Former SKC Wizards Update

Tony Meola's first professional head coaching gig lasted all of nine months, the former star goalkeeper for the Kansas City Wizards was fired this past week by NASL side, the Jacksonville Armada. Meola was named head coach of the club in November of 2015 and had led the Armada to a 2-10-6 record so far in the combined spring and fall season. Of teams that have played both the spring and the fall, that's the worst record in the league. He was the team's fourth head coach in their very short history and also served as the club's technical director during that time as well.

Also this week, Teal Bunbury and Kei Kamara both scored for the New England Revolution as they advanced to the 2016 US Open Cup final beating the Chicago Fire 3-1 on Tuesday night. They'll play the winner of tonight's game between the LA Galaxy and FC Dallas.
