So Adrian Heath has gone with Orlando City SC taking a step into the unknown with Inchy being the only manager we’ve ever had!
But the Lions’ decision has been made whether some like it or not and important days lay ahead for the Front Office to find a suitable successor.
With Bobby Murphy and Anthony Pulis taking interim charge in the meantime, an important gameday awaits Orlando City SC tomorrow evening as Houston Dynamo visit Camping World Stadium.

City supporters don’t need reminding that Adrian Heath‘s side simply haven’t won enough games in 2016 but despite our own deficiencies, Orlando City SC remain only 10 points behind pace-setters New York City FC in a tight Eastern Conference following Gameweek 17.
With Adrian Heath now having departed, we mustn’t forget it was he who led Orlando City SC through an incredibly bright start to their history, winning two USL Championships and three USL regular season titles between 2011 and 2014.

Well that's a HUGE call at a critical point in the season. Sad to see Inchy go, intrigued and hopeful as to who and what is next for #OCSC

People talk about plastic supporters in football, most Orlando supporters are as real as it gets. It's the team that's turning plastic.

Adrian Heath played a massive role in my career & he's a coach I consider to be one of the best in America. Whoever gets him will be lucky.

Firing Adrian Heath was less about coaching & more about the path of Orlando City as a club https://t.co/brMcDQvNjH pic.twitter.com/YAapyZyr6t
