St. Louis City SC Fires Coach Mellberg After 15 Games

St. Louis City SC has fired head coach Olof Mellberg after 15 MLS matches, following a poor run in which the team managed only 2 wins, 8 losses, and 5 draws while scoring just 11 goals, the second-lowest in the league. The team is winless in their last 11 games and sits 14th in the Western Conference, well below the playoff line. Club leadership cited not only poor results but also a failure to uphold the club's style and standards. David Critchley, previously head coach of CITY2, has been named interim head coach, with assistant Baggio Husidic joining the first team staff. Injuries and a depleted squad were acknowledged, but officials stressed the need to restore a winning culture for fans. The club is now searching for a permanent head coach as it seeks to turn around its season.
