When a team reaches the end of a season, it can feel an awful lot like an ending.
For Earthquakes general manager Jesse Fioranelli, it’s just another beginning.
“We’re in Chapter 2 of a long book,” Fioranelli said, “and we’re excited to continue writing the story that we have just started.”
Those next chapters will be written by Fioranelli and coach Chris Leitch, whose return to the Avaya Stadium bench was confirmed by his presence during a roundtable meeting with local media and Fioranelli on Monday. A wide range of topics were covered in the extensive conversation, with some of the recurring themes, including getting the team out of its comfort zone, building on its core and long-term processes for sustained success.
