The 2014 Real Salt Lake season is the team's tenth year of existence and also the first year with new Head Coach Jeff Cassar. The team's first game is on March 8 at StubHub Center.

Background

In 2013 Real Salt Lake played in the MLS Cup final, losing in the tenth round of penalty kicks to Sporting Kansas City.[1] Real Salt Lake also announced that LifeVantage would be a long term sponsor beginning in the 2014 Season.[2] Additionally, long term head coach, Jason Kreis announced that he would leave the club at the end of the season to embark on an opportunity to become the first coach for New York City FC to start in the 2015 season.[3] Other changes to the staff including Miles Joseph who left to assist Kreis in New York and C. J. Brown returned to his former club, Chicago Fire Soccer Club, to serve as assistant coach.[4] Jeff Cassar was promoted to be the head coach beginning in the 2014 season.[5]

Overview

March

Real Salt Lake began the season away to LA Galaxy on 8 April 2014 and won their first match of the season. Nick Rimando was awarded the first week Player of the Week[6] after a nine-save performance helping to secure the win. Additionally, Rimando was voted for MLS Save of the Week[7] and named for MLS Team of the Week[8] along with defender Nat Borchers for week one. Real Salt Lake continued to remain unbeaten throughout the month with draws at San Jose (3–3) and the home opener to LA Galaxy (1–1), and a three-nil home win to Toronto FC which saw Álvaro Saborío, Javier Morales, and Nat Borchers named to the MLS team of the Week for week four.[9] Captian Kyle Beckerman was also awarded MLS Goal of the Week for his 25 yard shot against San Jose that earned him nearly 50 percent of the votes.[10]

April

RSL continued their unbeaten run through the month with draws away to Sporting Kansas City (0–0) and Philadelphia Union (2–2), and home against Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2–2). Real Salt Lake also had a single home win over Portland Timbers (1–0), to bring the tally to eleven consecutive matches unbeaten against the Timbers. Real Salt Lake also were honored by being awarded the "Team of the Year" in the Utah Governor's State of Sport awards, as well as awards to Kyle Beckerman for "Male Professional Athlete of the Year", and Nick Rimando was awarded for "Highlight of the Year" for their accomplishments in the 2013 season.[11]

Luis Gil was called up to the U-21 US National Team for the pre-Olympic Training Camp, but backed out to recover from a lingering hamstring injury.[12] Defender Carlos Salcedo additionally was called up to train with the Mexico U-21 National Team to prepare for the 2016 Summer Olympics. [13] RSL Arizona Academy graduate Justen Glad was offered a Homegrown Player contract and became the seventh academy graduate to join the first team.[14] Real also announced a new Under-12 Academy to be based in Utah with graduates being promoted to the RSL Arizona Academy.[15]
