Zoran Krneta says when he came to Charlotte for the first time he was “shocked” by the passion among the soccer scene.

Zoran Krneta says they are looking for a head coach, not a manager like you would see in Europe-particularly England. They had a list of 3-4 candidates, but the pandemic and delay of the inaugural season forced them to go back to the drawing board.

The press conference has come to an end.
