They are one of the more interesting soccer clubs in the USL, with a club history that spans across multiple leagues. The USL Championship is there fourth league, an impressive feat when one learns that The Miami FC was only established in 2015. Before the USL, they had stops in the NASL, NPSL and NISA. In a way, they have a history of only being promoted. But actual on-field success has been hard to come by, as last year was the third consecutive year that The Miami FC missed the playoffs.
However, this year’s The Miami FC has an almost entirely new playing squad and coaching staff, led by Antonio Nocerino. The former AC Milan and Orlando City SC midfielder took over as head coach late last year. The Italian international will lead the first away game for Miami in 2024. The Miami FC defeated Colorado Springs 2-0 to open the year, but were bested by Sacramento last week, losing 1-0.
