CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) â Charlotte FC has agreed to a deal with Miguel Angel Ramirez to become the first head coach of its Major League Soccer expansion team, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the details of the contract have not been finalized. The decision was first reported by The Athletic.
The 36-year-old RamÃrez is considered one of soccerâs brightest young minds, with coaching stops in Spain, Qatar, Ecuador and Brazil.
He joins Charlotte FC after leading the Brazilian club Porto Alegre International earlier this year. He was let go after three months despite putting together an 11-7-4 record in 22 matches.
