Chicago Stars FC has fired general manager Richard Feuz amid a poor start to the NWSL season. The team is currently 15th in the standings with 9 points from 11 games.

What happened?

Feuz was hired in February 2024, but the team has largely struggled on and off the field since then. They finished in last place in 2025 and spent most of the season playing under multiple interim coaches. The team has gone 17-36-14 in all competitions during Feuz's time as general manager.

Why it matters for Chicago Stars FC

The firing of Feuz is a significant move for the team, which is looking to turn its season around. Chicago Stars FC president Karen Leetzow said that the team is looking for a new general manager with experience. The team has begun its search and is looking to make a hire soon.

What comes next?

The NWSL's transfer window opens on July 14, and the team is looking to make moves to improve its roster. Leetzow said that the team is confident in its current coaches and is looking to add players who can make an impact. The team recently got a boost with the return of forward Mallory Swanson from maternity leave. Swanson scored the game-winning goal for Chicago on Sunday against Bay FC.
