SoccerByIves has reported that Ironmen head coach and Vice President of Soccer Operations Omid Namazi will be named as Juan Carlos Osorio's first assistant coach at Red Bull New York on Wednesday. Namazi, who has currently lead the expansion Ironmen to MISL's third-best record (9-5), will replace the recently departed John Harkes and the reassigned Richie Williams as Osorio's lone assistant. Namazi had been considered along with ex-MetroStars head coach Alfonso Mondelo and former Chicago Fire captain Chris Armas for the position.
Our guess is that Namazi's departure will leave Ironmen player/assistant coach Kevin Sloan as a possible candidate to be the Irons' second head coach in their brief, less-than-one-season history. Sloan’s coaching resume includes stints as an assistant with the Kixx and Philadelphia University. Sloan was recently named 2007 Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Coach of the Year after guiding the men’s soccer team at Neumann College to a 7-7-4 record and their first playoff berth in program history. Sloan has served as head coach at Neumann, a NCAA Division III program, since 2006.
