Hamlett was released November 24 after two seasons, where he led them to back-to-back Eastern Conference championship games, both of which they lost.
The Fire’s list of candidates for the job are:
- Current New York Red Bulls head coach Richie Williams
- Real Salt Lake assistant coach Robin Fraser
- Former Fire player and assistant coach and former DC United head coach Tom Soehn
- Former Kansas City Wizards head coach Curt Onalfo
- Current Chivas USA and former Fire player Jesse Marsch
Fire technical director Frank Klopas said he personally took himself out of the running for the position and also said he is not against bringing in an experienced international head coach to take the job.
