Swiss manager Weiler named new DC United head coach
Swiss manager Rene Weiler was named head coach of DC United on Wednesday, the Major League Soccer club announced, pending his receipt of a US work visa.
It's the 10th managerial stop for 51-year-old Weiler, who most recently served as sporting director for Swiss club Servette.
Past head coaching duties for Weiler included stints with Japan's Kashima Antlers, Egypt's Al Ahly and Belgian side Anderlecht.
United fired Troy Lesesne as head coach on July 9 after the club opened the season with just four wins in 21 games.
Kevin Flanagan has served as interim head coach since Lesesne was dismissed and will stay in the post until Weiler is able to take charge.
"DC United is a club with a proud history and a passionate fanbase," Weiler said.
"The foundation on site gives me confidence in what we can build. There's still a lot of work ahead, but I'm fully committed to leading this club back to where it belongs, competing at the highest level in MLS."
Weiler, with more than 24 years of coaching experience, has won six major trophies, taking league titles in Belgium, Egypt and Switzerland.
His achievements include a UEFA Europa League quarter-final run with Anderlecht and an Egyptian league title with Al Ahly.
