Former Orlando City coach Adrian Heath will return to MLS as head coach Minnesota United FC, the 2017 expansion side announced Tuesday. Heath, whose tied to Orlando City date back to the club’s beginnings in Austin, was fired in July and replaced by Jason Kreis. His name almost immediately was connected with MLS’ 2017 expansion teams, Atlanta and Minnesota. Many thought Heath was more likely to join Atlanta since it’s director of football is former Lions general manager Paul McDonough, but the team announced Gerardo ‘Tata’ Matino, formerly of Argentina and Barcelona, as its inaugural head coach at the end of September.
