On 8 May 2022, following the final game of the 2021–22 season, it was announced head coach Olli Harder had informed the club of his resignation to pursue new opportunities. Assistant manager Paul Konchesky was immediately announced as his successor on a two-year contract.[1] On 28 May 2023, one day after the team's final game of the season, Konchesky was sacked.[2]
