Orlando City SC finally ended its head coach searching saga on Friday when the club announced the hiring of James O’Connor for the position. O’Connor’s choice has not been unanimously accepted by the Lions’ supporters as some portions of the club’s fan base are not entirely convinced he has the credentials to be in charge of the team.
At 38 years old, O’Connor has obviously a modest resume when compared to the likes of Luiz Felipe Scolari or Caleb Porter, who were both rumored as candidates for the job, but some elements on his coaching profile indicate he might be just the right choice for the Lions.
