Red Bulls head coach Juan Carlos Osorio has settled on his first, and only, assistant coaching hire. Osorio is set to name New Jersey Ironmen head coach Omid Namazi as Red Bulls assistant coach, a source with knowledge of the decison told Soccer By Ives on Tuesday. The club will announce the hiring on Wednesday.
SBI has also learned that Osorio will only be hiring one assistant coach to go along with goalkeeper coach Des McAleenan on his staff. Osorio prefers a smaller coaching staff. Former coach Bruce Arena had two assistants, Richie Williams and John Harkes, on his staff. Williams will take on a new role with the Red Bulls organization.
It could be worse we could be getting D’ambra, the Kixx head coach.
Do you have anything else on Namizi? How good a coach is he?
It would be nice for FulhAmerica to stay up again in the Prem… I am not sure Eddie is the answer but I sure damnhope he is…
is ej really better than healy?
4-3-3
Johnson—–McBride—–Dempsey
Sounds scrumptuous.
Ah beat me to it kpugs, was just going to mention EJ’s deal. Looks like he’s adding to Fulhamerica’s roster. Interesting with Dempsey up top and McBride coming back soon from injury.
Ives,
Word out of KC is that Nick Garcia will go to San Jose for a 1st round draft pick…

Didn’t you know when you have such big bulls that it’s hard to have a large staff?
Whattaya got on Eddie Money leaving U.S. camp, allegedly because he’s having “serious” discussions with Fulham?
Nice soul patch
Who is bitching?
stop bitching and move on. Juan Carlos is the man!
Ives, not to nitpick but I assume you meant Osorio prefers a smaller staff?
Why hire someone with Indoor coaching experience?
From what I understand, though, the players LOVED Harkes. As a developmental coach especially.
Will Namizi be leaving the Ironmen?
as far as not selecting Williams or Harkes, JCO might simply want a completely fresh start…he wouldn’t have to worry about any pre-existing relationships that either of them may have had with players (for better, or worse)
Why Namizi? What experience does he have over a Williams or Harkes?
Ide love to know the reasoning behind this.
What’s the deal with Richie Williams?
