SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Winless Real Salt Lake is shuffling its front office a little.
General manager Steve Pastorino to focus more on soccer and promoting John Kimball to vice president of business operations.
Pastorino will work out of the team's training facility and work directly with coach John Ellinger on turning around the second-year franchise. R-S-L has the worst record in Major League Soccer at 0-4-1. Real has scored five goals in five games while allowing eleven.
Kimball had been Real's senior director of corporate partnerships. In his new role, Kimball will be in charge of all sales, marketing, operations, business and human resources.
Real Salt Lake is also still trying to finalize finances for a new soccer-only stadium to be built in suburban Sandy.
