Onalfo Takes Over in LA - Former SKC Wizards Update

Sporting KC's last head coach before Peter Vermes now has a new head coaching position. After coaching "Los Dos," Los Angeles Galaxy 2, Curt Onalfo has been given the reigns of the first team after Bruce Arena's departure for the US men's national team recently. This will be Onalfo's third head coaching job in MLS, having previously coached the Wizards and DC United. In an odd twist both coaches who replaced Onalfo (Vermes in KC and Ben Olsen in DC) are still coaching there and are now the two longest tenured coaches in MLS after Arena's departure.

Elsewhere the news doesn't appear as good for another former KC player. The Jacksonville Armada have reportedly released all players on their roster from their contracts. The club, a member of the NASL currently is reportedly cutting salary ahead of a switch to the USL. Of the players who had their contracts terminated would be former defender Mechack Jerome.
