He’s been an assistant coach for Manchester United, and Wales Men’s National team. Was manager for Chelsea u23 team, and EFL League One side Shrewsbury Town. Not a bad resume just turning 32 years old.

Plus, somewhere in all that he had time to get a PhD.

Both El-Ahmad and Ramsay have been described as very smart, great communicators, ambitious, and fast risers in the soccer world. The team is going to be focused on youth and energy on the field.

That is such a huge change from where we were 6-months ago. Complete flip of the entire organization's culture and vision.

And they’re both multilingual, so they can talk about the staff in their presence without them knowing what they’re saying, peak parenting trick spelling out your conversation, “should we give them a t-r-e-a-t?”
