MLS - Expansion team Charlotte FC presents new manager

In a press conference on Thursday, new MLS expansion team Charlotte FC presented their first manager, Miguel Angel Ramirez.

The Spaniard is a manager with an important trajectory, starting out in youth sectors in his native Las Palmas, then moving to Greek football with Panathinaikos and Olympiacos. He then went to Aspire Academy in Qatar, where he stayed for 7 years from 2012 to 2018.  He finally became the manager of a senior squad for the first time when he managed Independiente del Valle in Ecuador, before managing Internacional de Porto Alegre in Brasil last year. 

He will now take the reigns at Charlotte FC starting next year, a job that will definitely be difficult but that Ramirez said he was excited for. Charlotte owner David Tepper hopes he can drive fans to the stands in the first year, but to do so the team will need to do well from the get-go, given how the Charlotte market is very competitive when it comes to sports.
