The Fire’s record isn’t what anybody associated with the franchise hoped for. After the 2-2 tie Wednesday with D.C. United, the Fire are 3-8-3 and outside the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
But owner Joe Mansueto is behind sporting director Georg Heitz and coach Raphael Wicky.
“I don’t have plans to make any changes with Georg and Rapha,” Mansueto told the Chicago Sun-Times during a wide-ranging interview Monday. “I like working with both of them and have confidence in them. They are very knowledgeable about soccer, passionate, fully committed and engaged. I don’t see anything wrong that they are doing.”
