ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando City coach James O’Connor started planning for the 2019 season six weeks ago.
He has no interest in dwelling on his first half-season with Orlando City. He went 2-12-3 at the helm and – since he hasn’t already been fired – is ready to hit the ground running preparing for next season.
O’Connor said there’s a “desperation from the front office” to deliver a winning product to Central Florida.
“I wouldn’t say I’ve had assurances [that his job is safe], but the fact that I’m not sacked would suggest that I’m going to be here,” O’Connor told Pro Soccer USA while smiling in his office at Orlando City Stadium.
