The Orlando Pride have seen tremendous turnover over the past year. Several veteran players departed the club and have been replaced by a young group. While the club has shied away from using the term, the team is going through a full rebuild. We sat down with Pride General Manager Ian Fleming to find out more about the club’s plan and what fans should know about the moves being made.
The rebuild started in earnest during the off-season when the Pride traded Alex Morgan, Ali Krieger, Ashlyn Harris, Jodie Taylor, and Ali Riley. It’s continued into the regular season, with the club buying out the contract of Amy Turner and recently trading Sydney Leroux to Angel City FC.
