CHGO Stars Podcast: Inside the Chicago Stars’ Ongoing Challenges Post Coaching Change

Chicago Stars goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher is tended to by training staff. Naeher is on one knee wearing an all pink goalkeeper kit. A woman crouching in front of her wears a red jacket, while a man in all black with dark hair and dark beard bends down to listen. A red banner across the lower third of the picture with white text reads 'Season From Hell' and the CHGO Stars logo is in the upper right corner.

Since firing head coach Lorne Donaldson at the end of April, things haven’t gotten any better for the Chicago Stars. In fact, they may haven only gotten worse. After a 0-0 draw in New Jersey, the Stars have lost their last three in a row and are adrift at the bottom of the NWSL table. Will things get better any time soon? Off the field, general manager Richard Feusz definitely said some stuff, Mallory Swanson is pregnant, and the Stars are going to play a game at Northwestern’s ramshackle soccer-turned football lakefront stadium. It’s a lot to get through, most of it not good, and Alex is once again joined by Lesley Ryder of Gal Pal Sports to go over it all. Oh, and did we mention Alyssa Naeher’s hurt now?
