Houston Dash part ways with boss Fran Alonso after leave of absence

NWSL side Houston Dash have confirmed they have parted company with boss Fran Alonso on Tuesday.

The Spaniard’s last known day at the club was on June 26, before a game away at the Kansas City Current. Then the news broke that the boss would not travel to that game after being diagnosed with illness and has not returned since.

Ricky Clarke will continue in the role of interim coach, with the club set to go for a more permanent appointment in the offseason.

The Dash currently sit bottom of the table, with just four wins from 22 matches.
