MIAMI - Major League Soccer clubs Chicago
Fire and Vancouver Whitecaps fired their coaches on Monday after
disappointing starts to the season.
Icelandic coach Teitur Thordarson was dismissed by the
Whitecaps, who are bottom of the Western Conference with just
one win this season.
Thordarson had been Whitecaps coach in the club's second
division guise from 2007 before they moved up to MLS this year.
Tom Soehn, Vancouver's director of soccer operations, has
been put in charge for the rest of the season.
Chicago, penultimate in the Eastern Conference, fired
Mexican former El Salvador head coach Carlos de los Cobos and
replaced him with their technical director Frank Klopas for the
rest of the campaign.
