Alan Pardew Could Make a Shock Return to Management With MLS Side

Alan Pardew is being sounded out as a potential replacement for Alan Koch at recently established MLS side FC Cincinnati.

The Ohio based side was founded in 2018 and began their inaugural Eastern Conference campaign in March of this year but have struggled to establish themselves, currently sit bottom of the division having won only three of their first 16 fixtures.

With just over half the season remaining, the current head coach Koch has been dismissed and the club is now on the lookout for a more experienced coach. According to ESPN, former Newcastle and Crystal Palace boss, Pardew, is a 'strong candidate' for the MLS role.
