Orlando City has finally got its man and it’s one that people, — not including me at all — may be questioning. Orlando typically has always been about big splashes in favor of shrewd under-the-radar moves: Tom Sermanni signing on as the Pride coach, Jason Kreis was possibly the biggest MLS name out there when he was hired, and this current coaching search had everyone from Luis Scolari to Caleb Porter, to even some talking about French manager Didier Deschamps.
Instead, Orlando City went with the “underdog” candidate of sorts. Former USL Orlando City midfielder and Louisville FC (USL) manager James O’Connor will jump into the role amidst a trying time for the club.
