Real Salt Lake News Release
SANDY, Utah (Wednesday, May 6, 2015) - Real Salt Lake Assistant Coach Andy Williams has been suspended indefinitely, following his recent arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. Williams has voluntarily agreed to enter a treatment program supervised by Major League Soccer's Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health ("SABH") Program doctors.
Williams, a member of the club as a player, scout and assistant coach since November, 2004, will not return to the club until the program is complete, he is cleared for participation by the SABH Program doctors, and Real Salt Lake completes its investigation.
Four of Next Five on the Road for RSL
With four of its next five games away from home, RSL kicks off its first of a pair of two-game road trips Saturday in Chicago. The next two weekends, May 9 and 16, see RSL travel to the Fire and then to Montreal for a pair of Eastern Conference road trips, while Wednesday, May 27 involves a return trip to LA - the club's first since last Fall's 0-5 playoff elimination at the Stubhub Center - and a continuation up the West Coast to Vancouver on Saturday, May 30, the first game on the new BC Place turf being installed for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
The pair of road forays this month are sandwiched around the much-anticipated Rio Tinto Stadium visit on Saturday, May 23, from former captain/head coach Jason Kreis and expansion NYCFC, the new home for such RSL luminaries as Ned Grabavoy, Chris Wingert, Mehdi Ballouchy, Josh Saunders, Kwame Watson-Siriboe and Sebastian Velazquez.
