When Niki Budalic played soccer at JMU from 1997 to 2000, he made quite the impression on then assistant Tom Foley. Foley praised the professionalism and intelligence of Budalic in a recent statement. Foley, now JMU’s head coach, has risen up the collegiate soccer ranks, while his former player is quickly ascending to the top of the professional ranks as an executive.
Budalic was recently named the assistant general manager for the Orlando City Soccer Club, a Major League Soccer team entering its second season as an MLS franchise. The former JMU star recently spoke with The Breeze and discussed what he expects to face as one of the men behind the scenes for the up-and-coming club.
