Orange County SC announced today it has parted ways with Head Coach Richard Chaplow.
Assistant Coach Morten Karlsen, who was part of the Danish technical team at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, will take the reins as Interim Head Coach with immediate effect and will be assisted by the vastly experienced Paul Hardyman.
“We hold ourselves to high standards at Orange County SC and since winning the USL Championship Cup in 2021, the results have simply been subpar and a change is necessary to get this team back to winning games regularly and competing for another trophy”, said Orange County President of Soccer Operations and General Manager Oliver Wyss. “Richard has been part of the club’s success since 2016 and we are forever grateful for his contributions on and off the field. We wish him and his family all the best in the future.”
The club has also announced the departure of Head of Performance Scott Piri.
