Last year, Orlando City SC launched its second version of a United Soccer League team.
Orlando City B was run by head coach Anthony Pulis, a member of the first USL team that won two league titles before moving to Major League Soccer. He knew the competition and he knew how to win. But, he needed to learn how to do that in this new, development-first USL era for the club.
Different MLS players from Orlando City were loaned down every week and Pulis sometimes wouldn’t know exactly the roster he’d be working with until a couple days before a match.
