I was thrilled when Minnesota United announced in late November that Adrian Heath would be the manager to bring the Loons into MLS. Why, you ask? It dates back to the days when I was just beginning to follow soccer--the 2015 MLS season. That was the year Heath entered the league with expansion club Orlando City SC. I had to have an MLS club to follow for the two years before Minnesota United began MLS play, so I chose the Lions. I listened to interviews with Adrian Heath and remember thinking, “He really knows his stuff and he seems like a nice guy too”.
