Wisconsin-Superior men's soccer coach Joe Mooney on Duluth FC hiring Thomas Pazo as new head coach: “I am extremely excited to hear the news about Thomas. I have enjoyed working with him again as a player and colleague. He is a top-level coach with incredible knowledge of the game. He is also a terrific recruiter, so I am excited about the quality he will bring to Duluth. The players will get a first-class experience playing for Thomas, and the fans will have a great product to watch on the field. He is a character-first coach who will bring the right young men into our community and will hold them to a high standard on and off the pitch. This is a huge win for the club and the Twin Ports community. I loved watching the club grow under Sean Morgan’s leadership and knew he would leave massive shoes to fill. I am thrilled to learn that Duluth FC has found the perfect fit to carry on his legacy. I can’t wait to welcome Thomas back to the Twin Ports.”
