Minnesota United FC made headlines on Monday by officially announcing the hiring of Eric Ramsay as their new head coach. This move comes after a lengthy process to find a suitable replacement for the previous coach, Adrian Heath. Ramsay, a native of England with roots in Wales, brings a wealth of experience from his time at Manchester United in the English Premier League.
In a statement released by the club, Ramsay expressed his enthusiasm for joining a team with a rich football culture and dedicated fan base. He emphasized the strong infrastructure in place at Minnesota United FC and highlighted the passion he observed among the club’s staff. Ramsay is looking forward to contributing to the club’s growth and sees an exciting pathway for the future.
Adrian Heath, the club’s original head coach since its MLS debut in 2017, was let go in October, sparking a period of transition for the team. Sean McAuley took over as interim coach before resigning in January. Cameron Knowles then stepped in as the next interim coach and led the team to a victory in their season opener against Austin. The addition of Khaled El-Ahmad as chief soccer officer further solidifies the club’s leadership structure.
With Eric Ramsay now in place as the head coach, Minnesota United FC is poised for a new chapter under his leadership. His background at a top club like Manchester United, coupled with his enthusiasm for the future of the team, bodes well for the success and growth of the club. Fans of the Loons can look forward to an exciting season ahead under Ramsay’s guidance.
