New faces, familiar returns, and hard goodbyes are underway at Reign FC

In our hour-long chat with Reign FC CEO Bill Predmore, we talked about a lot of subjects, most importantly the appointment of Farid Benstiti as the club’s new head coach. Benstiti will be inheriting a squad that finished the 2019 season with 31 players under contract. There have already been some changes to the roster as the club prepares for the 2020 season, but more changes are expected with the ultimate goal of this squad hopefully being the one that finally claims the ultimate prize, the NWSL Championship.

Over the course of our conversation, Predmore shared some insights on the players the club drafted at Thursday’s NWSL College Draft, provided updates on the returns of key players from injuries, and hinted at some further changes to the roster.
