Yesterday wasn’t too wild of a news day, but we still have the framework of this year’s MLS schedule (assuming the CBA is worked out, and that Covid-19 doesn’t force another delay, and probably four other obstacles), a D.C. United re-signed for another year, a Washington Spirit contract move that’s almost to that stage, and a few other things. Let’s go!
Felipe Martins was out of contract, but now he’s got a deal with United through this year (with an option year in 2022). No real surprise, but it’s good United got the deal done. Felipe’s experience playing deep in the Red Bulls midfield during their 3331 days with Jesse Marsch may end up being quite applicable to what Hernán Losada wants from his deepest midfielder. Hopefully his ACL rehab stays on course for a return earlier in the season rather than later.

D.C. United on Monday hired Hernán Losada as head coach, enlisting a young, largely unknown Argentine from the Belgian league who promises to bring entertaining soccer to Audi Field and elevate an organization that hasn t contended for the MLS championship in years.
Losada, 38, is the eighth coach in club history, succeeding Ben Olsen, who was fired in October after 10 years. Like Olsen in 2010, he becomes the league s youngest coach.
Losada signed a three-year contract, which includes a club-held option year. Terms were not disclosed.
