Orlando City announced on Friday that it has hired Louisville City boss James O’Connor as the club's new manager.
O’Connor, 38, most recently coached Louisville City in the second-division United Soccer League, where he led the team to the 2017 USL Cup championship in his third year as manager.
“James was our top target going into the coaching search. He has proven himself a consistent winner as both a player and coach at the USL level, and now is extremely eager to prove himself in MLS,” Orlando City general manager Niki Budalic said in a club release.
