Orlando City has parted ways with the only coach the franchise has ever known, dating back to its USL PRO days and moving on to the transition to MLS. The team announced it has mutually parted ways with coach Adrian Heath on Wednesday.
Team chairman Phil Rawlins issued an open letter to fans as the team said goodbye to a coach that had won two USL PRO championships with the franchise since it moved to Orlando from Austin in 2010:
Today is a very sad day for everyone associated with Orlando City and for me personally, as we agree to the mutual release of my good friend and our Head Coach for the past eight years, Adrian Heath.
