Phoenix Rising FC parted ways with Head Coach Danny Stone on Saturday.
“On behalf of our owners, front office, and fans, we extend our deepest gratitude to Danny for his efforts and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors,” said Phoenix Rising President Bobby Dulle.
Assistant Coach Diego Gómez will step up as interim head coach while the club conducts the search for the next head coach.
Stone began his tenure with the club in March 2021, initially serving as an assistant coach under Rick Schantz and helping the team achieve the best record in the Western Conference that season. As head coach, Stone led Phoenix Rising to a record of 5-6-6 and its deepest run in the U.S. Open Cup, exiting in the Round of 16 after falling to Major League Soccer’s Seattle Sounders away from home.
Phoenix Rising currently sits in sixth position in the Western Conference, six points out of first place.
