Miazga Out, Legacy In for FC Cincinnati | MLS News

FC Cincinnati made a surprising move by waiving defender Matt Miazga, who’s now off the roster and no longer counts against their salary cap — effective September 2nd. Arriving from Chelsea in August 2022, Miazga instantly elevated the team, earning MLS Defender of the Year, Best XI, and All-Star honors in 2023. Despite a serious knee injury in June 2024, he returned to play in under 10 months.

General Manager Chris Albright praised his winning mentality and pivotal role in transforming the club. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
