From hiring new GM Nelson Rodriguez and head coach Veljko Paunovic, to landing highly-touted defenders Brandon Vincent and Jonathan Campbell and sending No. 1 pick Jack Harrison to New York City FC on draft day, to the controversial trade that sent Homegrown midfielder Harry Shipp to Montreal, the Chicago Fire have had more than their fair share of change this offseason.
Comcast SportsNet Chicago took a behind the scenes look at the Fire’s busy winter, airing an all-access show on Wednesday night highlighting the pairing of Rodriguez and Paunovic, the club’s SuperDraft experience and their preseason training camps in Chicago, Tampa and Portland.
Chicago-Fire.com has all three segments up online. You can check out the Paunovic-Rodriguez bit up above – click for the SuperDraft and preseason camp segments.
The new-look Fire will kick off the Paunovic era on Sunday, when they’ll host NYCFC in their 2016 season opener (2 pm ET, MLS LIVE).
