We’re only six games into the 2017 MLS season and already Orlando City looks a completely different club than the last two years. A lot of this is due to Head Coach Jason Kreis and the rigorous off-season workout regimen he sent home with the players returning from last year. However, there is an unsung hero for Orlando City who deserves recognition for all the work he has done up to this point: General Manager Niki Budalic.
Originally hired as an assistant GM back in January of 2016, Budalic was promoted to full-time GM in December.
