DC United have dismissed head coach Rene Weiler after a poor run of results, with The Athletic reporting that the Swiss manager’s position had become untenable.
The club’s decision followed a sequence of just one victory in their past 11 Major League Soccer matches. Relations between Weiler and DC United’s management had also deteriorated significantly in recent weeks, according to the report.
DC United have appointed Oscar Pareja to replace Weiler.
The dismissal means Weiler has again failed to remain in charge of a club for two full seasons. Since joining Aarau in 2014, he has not completed a second season with any of the teams he has managed.
Weiler guided DC United to 14th place in the Eastern Conference in the previous Major League Soccer season, with the conference containing 15 teams.
The 51-year-old previously managed Al Ahly during the 2019/20 season but left before the campaign had concluded.
