After a months-long search, D.C. United has named Hernán Losada as their new head coach. Terms of the deal were not officially announced, though at least one Belgian report says Losada’s contract runs for three years. The 38-year-old Argentine joins United after spending the last one-and-a-half years as the head coach with K Beerschot VA, whom he got promoted to the Belgian top flight in the 2018-2019 season.
United’s pursuit of a new head coach stretches back to early October, when Ben Olsen’s decade-long run as the club’s manager came to an end with the Black-and-Red having won just twice in 2020.
