St. Louis City sack head coach Olof Mellberg after 15 games

St. Louis City have sacked head coach Olof Mellberg after just 15 games in charge, the club announced Tuesday evening.

The Swede took the helm this past offseason after parting ways with Bradley Carnell, but the club's fortunes have not changed in the months since.

St. Louis City have collected just 11 points in 15 games so far this season, scoring just eight goals in the process.

“The decision to part ways with Olof goes beyond just results," said Sporting Director Lutz Pfannenstiel. "We’ve analyzed the team’s performance across a number of factors, including the need to execute against a style of play that led to the team’s initial success and has been part of our DNA for four years.

"As a club, we have certain standards we need to meet and believe a coaching change was necessary to improve our overall performance and return to a winning culture. Our fans deserve a better performing team, and we intend to give them one."

Next up for 14th place St. Louis is an MLS showdown with San Jose Earthquakes.
