“There were other MLS opportunities that I wouldn’t have left Louisville for,” said James O’Connor at an afternoon press conference at Orlando City Stadium today as the club introduced the new coach to the media.
The overriding themes of the short presser were O’Connor’s affinity for a club that he called “special” any number of times and the praise he had for the quality of the players on the Lions’ roster.
Ultimately, the decision to leave his position with Louisville City FC and come to Orlando was a big one that O’Connor didn’t take lightly.
