Orlando City is closing in on a deal that would make Louisville City’s James O’Connor the club’s next head coach, according to a report from The Athletic’s Paul Tenorio.
The report says negotiations are underway and the talks are not yet in the final stages.
Orlando City officials declined to comment about O’Connor.
The current boss at 2017 USL Champion Louisville City, O’Connor was a player for the Lions during their USL days. Louisville was the Lions’ original USL affiliate before the club launched Orlando City B and there are many staff ties between the two franchises.
