As first reported by Sam Stejskal of mlssoccer.com, Orlando City has hired former USMNT center back Oguchi Onyewu to serve as the first ever technical director for Orlando City B in USL League One. Orlando City made the announcement official this morning.
The 36-year-old, who retired from playing in September, would be stepping into his first technical role and will report to OCB General Manager Mike Potempa.
The sources said Onyewu will focus on youth development, and that transitioning players from the Orlando academy to OCB will be one of his bigger responsibilities.
