During his time with the club, Hackworth saw many positions, including interim head coach of CITY2 and interim head coach of the first team in late 2024 after the club let go of Bradley Carnell.
“From the moment I arrived, I knew I had the chance to help build something truly special,” Hackworth said in a press release. “I am grateful to everyone in the organization for that opportunity — from the amazing ownership group to the staff and coaches to the players who challenged me every day. And to the fans, your support made every moment memorable. Thank you to the St. Louis community for embracing me and my family over the past four years.”
