The 2019-20 Kansas City Comets season was quite a ride highlighted by visa issues and a premature end to the season. Before we get into what went right and what went wrong, let’s recall the changes entering the season.
The Comets entered the season returning most of the team, but saw some notable offseason departures of captain Bryan Perez (now with Wichita Wings), James Togbah (now with Utica City FC), Alain Matingou (served as Comets assistant coach), and the departure of head coach Kim Roentved (replaced by Leo Gibson in the player-coach role).
After Kevin Ellis had originally decided not to return, the former Sporting KC defender changed his mind, and ended up having a productive season where he appeared in 10 games, scoring 14 goals and added two assists.
