New York City FC: New head coach must be winner, not tactician

New York City FC enjoyed one of the best regular seasons in MLS history. After failing to win any of their first six games, including five draws, they still accrued 64 points and averaged 1.88 points per game — two points per game is largely considered historically elite.

If you were to take out their first six matches and just consider their final 28 games, New York City FC averaged 2.11 points per game. Los Angeles FC, for context, averaged 2.12 points per game in the greatest regular-season performance in MLS history.

This New York City FC team put together one of the best campaigns in MLS history.
