Veteran center back Jonathan Spector has been named the second captain in Orlando City’s MLS history after the departure of star midfielder Kaká at the end of 2017. Spector’s captaincy was announced by the club via social media today.
Spector wore the captain’s armband various times in 2017 whenever the captain who started the match left the pitch, but he only started one match as captain last year — the club’s U.S. Open Cup match against Miami FC. (H/T to our own Sean Rollins, who meticulously tracks these things.) I assume Spector’s captaining skills were not responsible for that USOC loss.
