St. Louis CITY SC: What we learned from their 2024 season

To the credit of sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel, he eventually caught on. It took him one transfer window too long, as the lack of big moves last winter doomed St. Louis’s 2024 campaign, but those moves did eventually come. And while CITY’s 2024 was, from a “hey, did they win the game?” perspective, much, much worse than the miracle they pulled off in 2023, they are much, much better positioned to move forward into 2025 as a team that should be able to sustainably win some games. And maybe play some good soccer while doing so.
