SANFORD, Fla. — For Orlando City goalkeeper coach Thabane Sutu, coaching in Central Florida is easy.
He’s locked in while he’s at work. Along with head coach James O’Connor and the rest of Orlando City’s coaching staff, he can be at Sylvan Lake Park for roughly 12 hours in a day. He’s put in hours like that since he joined the squad from Louisville City FC in Kentucky.
Things are a bit tough when he’s away from the club.
Sutu’s wife, Motselisi, and 15-year-old daughter, Ayanda, are still in Kentucky. Sutu said Ayanda didn’t want to leave her school, and he wasn’t going to force her to do so.
