Lampard, the three-time premier league-winning midfielder, was recently in Charlotte for an interview- as well as Smith, two big-name managers who have shown interest in the club.

90 Minutes reporting they’ve selected Dean Smith but TopBin90 says it’s not a done deal

I can 100% get behind Dean Smith. He’s turned a few poo clubs around.

Also has a lifetime losing record. So seems about right, just like all other charlotte sports we will continue to lose more than we win

Dean is a fantastic coach and this is a good appointment. It is however the least talented squad he will have ever coached. I include the Leyton Orient league 2 team in that…..their goalkeeper was fantastic though lol

I could be wrong but I feel like most premier league managers have losing records.
