NYC FC has moved closer to a stadium deal in the South Bronx and hired Jason Kreis as their first head coach.

Coach Mike Petke: "Passion is something that I'm convinced you can't teach - you either have it or not. And I feel that every single person on this team has it."

In his 13 year career as an MLS defender, Mike Petke never became a household name, but he became a legend to NY area fans for his grit, determination, and passion.

Another roster overhaul has been executed in an attempt to avoid it happening again. Another blend of superstars, academy products, and trialists all find themselves attempting to not just make the cut but form a team that is still chasing its first trophy in its 17th year.
