Report: Ramos emerges as frontrunner for Fire head coaching position
Heading into the MLS offseason, the Chicago
Fire had coaching job has been a major talking
point, and it appears that a frontrunner has
emerged from the pack of candidates.
Goal USA is reporting that U.S. Under-20 Men’s
National Team head coach Tab Ramos has
emerged as the leading candidate for the
Chicago Fire head coaching position.
The report went on to state that the Fire have
interviewed former New York Red Bulls coach
Mike Petke and U.S. Under-17 Men’s National
Team coach Richie Williams for the position. In
addition, Jason Kreis’ candidacy has not yet
become clear following his departure from New
York City FC.
Ramos, who made 81 appearances for the U.S.
Men’s National Team throughout a 13-year
international career, played seven years in MLS
as a member of the MetroStars. The 49-year-old
has taken charge of the U.S. U-20s since 2011,
while also serving as an assistant with the senior
team since 2014.
Under Frank Yallop and interim head coach Brian
Bliss, the Fire finished with just 30 points this
season, good for last place in all of MLS.
What do you think of this development? Think
Ramos would be a good fit for the Fire? Who
would you hire to be the Fire’s coach?
