ST. LOUIS, Mo. (AP) — St. Louis City has fired coach Bradley Carnell amid a disappointing second season for the MLS team. The team announced the move two days after blowing a two-goal lead in a loss to Vancouver. St. Louis is 12th in the 14-team Western Conference a year after becoming the first expansion team to win a conference regular-season title. Technical Director John Hackworth will manage the team on an interim basis. Carnell was hired as the team’s first manager in January 2022 and received a contract extension before this season.
