Yesterday's weekly press conference was canceled, but that did not stop the Philadelphia Union from announcing what may be the biggest news in the franchise's short history.
Nick Sakiewicz, Union CEO and Managing Partner, informed the media at a 2:00 p.m. press conference at PPL Park that the team had chosen to move on from head coach Peter Nowak. An emotional Sakiewicz, his eyes reddening and appearing to water throughout the press conference, tried to choose his words wisely.
"Today we're announcing that Peter Nowak is stepping down as our head coach and team manager,"
