On Thursday, December 19, 2024, our Lunch & Learn series brought some major star power to our offices. About 50 Magellan employees, customers and friends gathered for an exciting session with Gregg Berhalter, the new Head Coach and Director of Football for Chicago Fire FC. Coach Berhalter, known for his leadership and deep understanding of the game, shared his vision for the Fire and his plans to elevate the team in the seasons ahead.

As a proud sponsor of Chicago Fire FC, with our logo featured prominently on the team’s uniform sleeves, Magellan has a strong connection to the organization’s journey. This Lunch & Learn was a fantastic way to celebrate that partnership while giving employees a chance to connect with one of soccer’s top minds.

The event included a lively Q&A session with Coach Berhalter’s thoughtful responses giving everyone a glimpse into his approach to building a winning culture both on and off the field.

After the Q&A, attendees had the chance to meet Coach one-on-one for autographs and photos.

Of course, no Magellan event is complete without great eatsn, this time a delicious Italian buffet from Francesca's.

Our partnership with Chicago Fire FC is about more than just soccer—it’s about teamwork, community, and striving for excellence. This Lunch & Learn brought those values to life and set the stage for an exciting year ahead for both Magellan and the Fire.
