St. Louis City SC announced the hiring of Olof Mellberg as the MLS franchise's second head coach on Tuesday.

The 47-year-old former Sweden captain and Aston Villa star replaces Bradley Carnell, who was fired in July.

Mellberg has been coaching clubs in Sweden and Denmark since 2015. In 2024, he guided IF Brommapojkarna to a club-record 10th-place finish in the Swedish top flight.
