Chicago Fire FC v CF Montreal

CF Montreal dismiss Donadel after poor start to MLS season

CF Montreal have dismissed head coach Marco Donadel after a poor start to the MLS season. Donadel's exit means CF Montreal will again be searching for a new manager just six months after hiring him. The club's difficult start to the campaign ultimately proved too much to overcome, forcing another change on the touchline.

The 20-year-old was part of a resolute defensive display as The Fire, fuelled by a record-breaking start at Soldier Field, put in a resolute defensive display to protect their 1-0 lead to the final whistle.

Mbokazi hailed as one of the most popular players in MLS

When the 20-year-old moved from Orlando Pirates to Chicago Fire, it triggered a massive upsurge on the Chicago club's social media, which saw 180,000 followers join in the first 48 hours. That figure has since grown to over half a million South African social media accounts now following the club, making up a quarter of their entire online audience.

Puso Dithejane also made his debut when he replaced his fellow countryman in the 88th minute.
