After weeks of rumors that it might happen, the Union made it official on Friday that top assistant coach Mike Sorber has left to join the staff of MLS expansion team Los Angeles FC.
Reports of Sorber’s potential departure first surfaced in late October. At the time, Union sporting director Earnie Stewart said publicly that Sorber hadn’t yet told the team he was going to leave, but also didn’t say Sorber was absolutely staying.
Sorber was known for taking charge of many practice sessions. He also had a bit of a reputation as the bad cop on the staff.
