Minnesota United announced today the club has signed a new contract with veteran midfielder and captain Osvaldo Alonso.
“We’ve managed to retain a player who I believe has been the best in his position for the last 10 years in MLS,” said Head Coach Adrian Heath. “You look at the makeup of the player and it’s more than just his ability, there’s been loads of players with ability that fall by the wayside and never had a career. Ozzie has maximized everything that he has ever had: his talent, his personality, his leadership qualities and his professionalism. It’s more than just his football, everyone knows how good he is on the field, you can’t have enough people in your organization like him.
