Steve Coleman deserved a lot of credit for stabilizing what he could in the turmoil of last season. Class guy. I believe the locker room will miss his presence
Thank you, Coach Coleman 🔰

I know they haven’t yet announced Leo’s new role, but I love seeing him, Yann, and Lewis right in the middle of everything. This may be a brand new Rowdies, but there’s at least some cultural continuity.
A quick 🪨🗒️✂️ tourney to kick off our morning!

I only know Dom in these photos.

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a wholesale roster switch, and I’m old. The memory isn’t what it used to be
All smiles for day ✌️

Mark Briggs is officially out as Birmingham Legion's head coach, less than a year into the job.

With preseason starting up and under two months to the team's season opener, the timing could hardly be worse for the Three Sparks.

Going to have a full roster before the new year.

I am hearing there has been progress in USL labor negotiations and that there are more talk plan between now and the day the CBA formally expires on December 31.

Sticking points remain over Health Care, base compensation and licensing fees.

What I love is that Dossantos is equally able to play as a left wingback or left-sided CB within a classic Casciato back three, couldn’t be a better fit.
