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 arrives from Beerschot, a small, overachieving club that last year gained promotion to the first division in his first season in charge.
“I believe in playing every match to win and, in my opinion, the best way to do this is to create as many scoring chances as possible every time we step onto the field, through high-energy, vertical attacking soccer,” he said in a written statement issued by United.
