Next steps for Phoenix Rising after campeones tour comes crashing down

It was supposed to be a lap of victory, but Phoenix Rising’s Campeones Tour turned into a disaster.

One fired coach in Danny Stone, a half-season long interim in Diego Gómez that is likely to be shown the door soon as well. A loss to rivals New Mexico United in the opening round of the playoffs was the final blow.

Where is the right path from here for Phoenix Rising? Can fan frustration with club president Bobby Dulle and sporting director Brandon McCarthy be subdued? And what moves does this team need to make on the field to stand a chance of bouncing back in the near future?

Join Owain Evans and Rees Goodall on the PHNX Rising Podcast to discuss the club’s outlook.
