Orlando City CEO Alex Leitão is clear regarding the type of coach he wants next for the club: He wants someone who can come in and win immediately.
Leitão, speaking exclusively to ProSoccerUSA.com, said candidates are being interviewed for Orlando City’s head coaching vacancy and he hopes to name the club’s new head coach next week. Jason Kreis on Friday was fired as the head coach of Orlando City with the Lions on a six-match losing streak in league play.
For now, Orlando City GM Niki Budaliu0107 is conducting early interviews. Candidates will be separated into four categories – for instance, which is the hungriest, the youngest, the most experienced – and then the leaders of those categories will be submitted to Leitão and club owner Flávio Augusto da Silva for review.
