There’s a target on Carlos Rivas’ back. The young Colombian winger has had his bright moments in Orlando, but with a regime change and imminent shift in philosophy, Rivas will have to prove to new manager Jason Kreis that he still deserves a spot on the Orlando City squad.
Kreis has not been a fan of one-dimensional wingers during his time as a coach, preferring versatile central midfielders. The pace in his lineups are generally in the central striker partnership, not running past fullbacks near the corner flags. Rivas was never able to nail down a starting job under Adrian Heath, even though he would have some spells of brilliance.
