HE’S REBORn In THE USa

ADRIAN HEATH is in no hurry to return to English management after five successful years here at Minnesota.

The former Everton, Manchester City, Stoke and Burnley star is a respected boss in the USA – the fourth longest serving in the MLS. On the eve of the new season his hunger to take his club further still burns bright.

“I’m as excited today as I was 20 years ago,” said Heath. “I had belief that the league was going to grow and be what it has become. So yes I’m excited, I want to continue our journey.

“The big thing for me was being able to build Minnesota from the bottom. We had no academy or training facility and I played a part in that and we’ve got a waiting list of 12,000 for season tickets.”
