    An EXPLOSION of News! Hemmi OUT as Red Stars coach, Free Agency starts | CHGO Stars Podcast
    Jul 1 2025
    📬 Chicago sports in your inbox: https://allchgo.com/newsletter The Chicago Stars decided the morning of this podcast was a good time to for a giant news dump! Interim Head Coach Masaki Hemmi has left the team to “pursue other opportunities,” short term contracts have been both extended and torn up, and there are a lot of players on the NWSL’s free agency list for the coming offseason. On the soccer side of things, as the NWSL begins its summer break the Stars will probably be glad to get away from the field for a while. Multiple blown leads, including one at Soldier Field created by two great Ludmila goals, and a boring loss in Portland leaves them in second to last (thanks Utah?) and winless in nine. The stars now prepare for a weekend tournament in Kansas City in two weeks amid the backdrop of roster churn and uncertainty.

    Inside the Chicago Stars' Ongoing Challenges Post Coaching Change | CHGO Stars Podcast
    May 27 2025
    Since firing head coach Lorne Donaldson at the end of April, things haven’t gotten any better for the Chicago Stars. In fact, they may haven only gotten worse. After a 0-0 draw in New Jersey, the Stars have lost their last three in a row and are adrift at the bottom of the NWSL table. Will things get better any time soon? Off the field, general manager Richard Feusz definitely said some stuff, Mallory Swanson is pregnant, and the Stars are going to play a game at Northwestern’s ramshackle soccer-turned football lakefront stadium. It’s a lot to get through, most of it not good, and Alex is once again joined by Lesley Ryder of Gal Pal Sports to go over it all. Oh, and did we mention Alyssa Naeher’s hurt now?

    Well, the Chicago Stars did win for the first time this season back on April 13th at Bay FC! Unfortunately they’ve lost the two since without scoring a single goal.

    There’s Nothing Bright or Shining About the Chicago Stars’ Start | CHGO Stars Podcast
    Mar 25 2025
    Two games into the NWSL season and things couldn’t be going much worse for the soccer team formerly known as the Chicago Red Stars. An underwhelming rebrand, lack of reinforcements and absent Mallory Swanson led into what’s been a terrible start on the field. Alex recaps a drubbing in Orlando and blown lead at home before being joined by Lesley Ryder of Gal Pal Sports and Defector to commiserate.

    A year removed from finishing in last place, the Chicago Red Stars are headed to the playoffs! While that is certainly worth celebrating, it hasn’t happened because they’ve been playing well. Three losses in their last four games, with Ludmila suspended and Mallory Swanson struggling, leave the Red Stars in a strange position. Alex Campbell looks ahead to the postseason and at how lucky the Red Stars are to be a part of it on the CHGO Red Stars Podcast.
