The offseason is heating up quickly for FC Cincinnati with the 2022 preseason looming.
Following the Tuesday confirmation of Dominique Badji joining the roster, news broke of additions to FC Cincinnati's first-team coaching staff, which were confirmed by The Enquirer via multiple sources.
Joining Noonan on the bench as assistants in 2022 will be former MLS Cup-winning head coach Dominic Kinnear, former Los Angeles FC assistant Kenny Arena, and Paul Rogers, the former Houston Dynamo FC head of goalkeeping.
Also joining Noonan as an assistant is Ricardo Páez, an in-house hire for FC Cincinnati, a former academy coach for the club and a member of the interim staff that helped close out the 2021 season following the September departure of now-former head coach Jaap Stam.
In an offseason interview with The Enquirer, Páez, of Venezuela, affirmed his desire to eventually move beyond the academy ranks with his eventual goal being to manage at the international level.
