Technical director Jose Luis Sanchez Sola returns to Lights FC sideline

Guess who’s returning to the Lights’ touchline? Technical director Jose Luis Sanchez Sola’s four-game USL suspension is now over. He will coach a regular season-game Saturday for the first time since April 27. The Lights went 0-2-2 in his absence. Now Sola will return to try to pull the team out of its skid. These five weeks he has been with us every day, every single time. He traveled with us to Colorado, Salt Lake City. If he’s on the bench, he’s probably more explosive. Yelling 90 minutes. That’s his energy. That’s always his energy.
