New York City FC and Ronny Deila did not live up to expectations for 2020
The 2020 MLS season was not ideal for New York City FC. The team still finished in 5th place and qualified for playoffs, but the Pigeons finished first in the Eastern Conference back in 2019.

However, this season was plagued with inconsistency.
