Real Monarchs SLC 2018 Season Preview
Real Monarchs SLC enter its 4th campaign in the United Soccer League with high expectations after playing to a record year in 2017. The Utah side earned the USL Regular-Season Championship Shield en route to its first ever playoff appearance as Head Coach Mark Briggs secured his own silverware at season’s end. The club will open the doors of its new home – Zions Bank Stadium – for the first time in late-April while it returns nine players from its historic 2017 roster.
Reigning USL Coach of the Year Mark Briggs enters his first full season in charge of the Monarchs after leading the team to a historic year after Mike Petke’s promotion to Real Salt Lake just one match into the USL season.
