CITY SC sack Carnell, Hackworth to take over
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - St. Louis CITY SC has parted ways with head coach Bradley Carnell, the team announced Monday.
Carnell served as the club’s first manager and was hired in January 2022. In his first year, CITY SC finished as the 2023 Western Conference Regular Season champions with a 17-12-3 record. In 2024, the team has amassed a record of 3-7-10, averaging .95 points per game. They are ranked 26th in all of MLS.
“Given Bradley’s many contributions to the club, this was not an easy decision,” said CITY SC Sporting Director Lutz Pfannenstiel. “Unfortunately, based on our Year 2 results to date, we believe a coaching change is in the best interest of the club as we regroup and look to improve both our performance and our results.”
“On behalf of everyone at CITY SC, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Bradley for his time with the club,” said CITY SC President and GM Diego Gigliani. “He was integral to the club’s success during our historic first campaign.”
Technical Director John Hackworth will manage the team on an interim basis as CITY SC begins the search for a new head coach.
Hackworth has close to 30 years of coaching experience at various levels, including two different assistant coaching assignments with the U.S. Men’s National Team and head coaching positions with the Philadelphia Union and the USL’s Louisville CITY FC, where he led the team to the 2018 USL championship.
