In the months between now and the 2020 MLS season Orlando City will continue a rebuild that started last off-season. That time period saw the Lions add notable contributors like Nani, Robin Jansson, Sebas Mendez, and the recently re-signed Ruan. After Thursday’s roster decisions, the Lions will need a similar influx of key contributors prior to the 2020 season if they are finally going to get over the hump and reach the postseason, because there are new gaps that must be filled.
The most glaring need obviously is at the head coach position, because James O’Connor has yet to be replaced.
