Former New England Revolution assistant coach Tom Soehn is expected to be named the first-ever coach of Birmingham Legion FC per Soc Takes. The USL expansion side is set to begin league play in 2019.
Soc Takes understands that @USLNewMexico ‘s 1st head coach will be current @CLTIndependence assistant coach @TroyLesesne .
Players I spoke to within @USL rate Lesesne very highly and remark on his strong work ethic.
An announcement is expected on Monday. @SocTakes— Nipun Chopra, PhD (@NipunChopra7) August 10, 2018Soehn worked under ex-manager Jay Heaps from 2014-2017, ultimately serving as interim coach following Heaps’ dismissal last September.
