Chris McSorley is no longer the coach of Lugano. The Canadian was sacked at the start of his 2nd season at Resega after 8 matches, while the Luganese team occupies 10th place in the National League standings.
Chris McSorley took over from Serge Pelletier at the start of last season. The 60-year-old Ontarian had reached the quarter-finals of the playoffs after eliminating his former team Genève-Servette in the pre-playoffs. But in the next round, Lugano were eliminated 4-0 by eventual champion Zug.
His contract ran until the end of the 2023-2024 season. Apart from a somewhat flamboyant success against Ambri-Piotta, the course of the Luganese was really chaotic, culminating in a loss conceded at home against Kloten (4-5) last week.
Lack of emotions
The 7-3 defeat in Bern on Friday was one too many.
In a press release, the club deplores that the system of play, the training method and the lack of emotions generated were detrimental to the team.
