ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando City executive vice president Luiz Muzzi is focused on the future, searching for the ideal new head coach to finally lead the club to the playoffs after he fired James O’Connor on Monday.
Muzzi said he would have preferred to keep O’Connor to maintain continuity with the club, but he couldn’t justify another season of failing to reach the playoffs. The coming weeks will offer Muzzi with a chance to select a coach of his own for the first time in his tenure in Orlando.
“I feel like this is gonna be an important moment now,” Muzzi said.
