Omar Morales finally has his feet under him as a coach at the professional level. That’s good because he is about to take a large leap.
In his first game as interim coach, Morales on Saturday night will lead the Dash against the Orlando Pride at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Morales is not far removed from coaching at the NCAA Division II level where at Eastern New Mexico University his teams played at small stadiums with a smattering of fans.
The Dash, on the other hand, play in an immaculate stadium that on Saturday will host its biggest crowd of the young season thanks to big names like Carli Lloyd, Morgan Brian, Marta and Ali Krieger.
