CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling Chicago Fire have fired coach Ezra Hendrickson and replaced him with Frank Klopas for the remainder of the season. The team also parted ways with assistant coach Junior González. The Fire are 14th of 15 teams in the Eastern Conference with 11 points. Only the New York Red Bulls trail Chicago. The Red Bulls parted ways with coach Gerhard Struber on Monday in what the team says was a mutual agreement. Hendrickson led the Fire to a 12-18-14 mark over two seasons. He spent 13 years coaching at the domestic and international levels before Chicago hired him in November 2021 to take over for Klopas, who had replaced the fired Raphaël Wicky on an interim basis.
