D.C. United has officially appointed Swiss manager René Weiler as the new head coach following the dismissal of Troy Lesesne. The decision comes amidst a period of struggle for the club, currently sitting 12th in the standings. Lesesne was fired after an unsatisfactory performance, including a recent defeat in the U.S. Open Cup. Weiler, who previously managed Anderlecht, is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the team as they look to improve their fortunes.
