D.C. United reportedly fire head coach Troy Lesesne, set to hire former Anderlecht boss Rene Weiler

Major League Soccer

Charlotte FC

DC United

<p>D.C. United have reportedly made a head coaching change, parting ways with Troy Lesesne and replacing the boss with veteran manager and sporting director Rene Weiler, according to <a href="https://www.givemesport.com/sources-dc-united-to-name-rene-weiler-manager/" target="_blank"><em>GiveMeSport</em></a>. The change comes on the back of another poor start to a season for the MLS club. They have just 19 points after 22 matches, and the worst goal difference in MLS. The front office had been planning a head coaching change "for a while," according to reports.</p><p>Lesesne joined United after a promising stint as the New York Red Bulls' interim manager in 2023, winning 43.8 percent of his games. However, that success didn't follow him to the nation's capital, as his win percentage was 26.2 percent.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Weiler comes into the D.C. United with a wealth of experience in the European game and abroad. The former Swiss international has managed Anderlecht, Egyptian side Al Ahly, and Swiss League stalwarts Servette FC - where he currently serves as sporting director.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>D.C. United are enduring one of their worst fallow periods in recent memory. They haven't appeared in the playoffs since 2019, and last advanced past the first round in 2015. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>D.C.'s next fixture is an MLS clash with fellow strugglers LA Galaxy. The reigning MLS Cup champs are dead last in the Western Conference.</p>
