Philadelphia Union Appoints Bradley Carnell Head Coach

The Philadelphia Union have appointed Bradley Carnell as their new head coach, succeeding Jim Curtin who was dismissed in November after 11 seasons. Carnell brings a wealth of experience from his previous roles, including his time as head coach at St. Louis City SC, where he led the team to a commendable third place in the league with a notable goal differential in the 2023 season, and as interim manager at the New York Red Bulls. Despite being fired from St. Louis while the team was struggling, his past achievements include leading St. Louis to a conference regular season title. Philadelphia's sporting director, Ernst Tanner, praised Carnell for his tactical acumen and alignment with the club's strategic vision. The Union look forward to a new era under Carnell's leadership, with hopes of elevating the team to new competitive heights.
