Orlando City continues search for new coach

Orlando City continues its search for a new head coach with specific criteria in mind.

After firing former coach Adrian Heath last week, the club said it had three to four candidates it would begin interviewing immediately to fill the position.

Orlando City president Phil Rawlins said the group includes recognizable names, and that he is looking for someone with MLS experience or with in-depth knowledge of the league and its rules.

A spokesman for the club confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel there are no Brazilians among those being considered. That came as a surprise to some fans because of the club's heavy Brazilian influence, with majority owner Flávio Augusto da Silva, CEO Alex Leitão and team captain Kaká, among others.
