Orlando City will face Minnesota United and former head coach Adrian Heath Saturday, an emotional matchup that will have an impact on the Lions’ playoff push.
Heath, now at Minnesota, led Orlando City during its USL days and piloted the team through its transition into MLS. The coach was known for doing more than just leading the team on the pitch — he promoted Orlando City widely off the field, educating the community about the sport to help the Lions reach the highest level of American soccer.
After nearly seven years with the club, Heath was fired midseason in the midst of the club’s second MLS season.
