(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4On December 11, NISA announced the Oakland, Detroit, Chattanooga, and Michigan Stars FC had all been approved by the U.S. Soccer Board of Directors.[4][5]Paul Bravo was announced as the Roots’ first head coach on May 9, 2019.[6] On October 31, following the fall season, the club announced they and Bravo had mutually parted ways.[7] Assistant coach Jordan Ferrell was named as interim head coach and later, on December 3, officially named as the new head coach.[8][9] The team won its first NISA match on March 7, 2020, 2\u20131, at home against Michigan Stars FC.[10]The team played two friendly matches against Mexican professional teams early in the season, falling to Liga MX side FC Ju\u00e1rez in early September and beating second division side Club Atl\u00e9tico Zacatepec with both games selling out.[11][12]On April 27, 2020, following a stoppage of play and subsequent extension due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NISA announced the cancellation of the 2020 Spring season.[13][14]Players[edit]As of April 24, 2020 [15]Staff[edit]Transfers[edit]In[edit]#Pos.PlayerSigned fromDetailsDateSource20MF Angel Heredia FC
