On the latest edition of USL All Access, Devon Kerr and Joe Malfa talk to new Oakland Roots SC Head Coach Benny Feilhaber following his appointment on Monday and welcome Loudoun United FC Head Coach Ryan Martin to the show as his side prepares for a top-three clash with the Charleston Battery this weekend.

A former United States international, Feilhaber discusses the opportunity to take on the position in Oakland and the differences to his prior head coaching position at Sporting Kansas City II, what he learned from working in the media and how that applies to working as a coach, and why there’s a blank slate for players to prove themselves as Roots look to boost their recent form in the Championship and USL Jägermeister Cup.

The second-longest tenured Head Coach in the Championship, Martin discusses how United has become one of the contenders for the Players’ Shield this season, how coming up short of a postseason berth late in the 2024 season set the agenda for this offseason, and how having continuity in the squad for the first time has allowed players to level up their performance this season.

Tune in live to SiriusXM FC (Ch. 157) every Tuesday night for new editions of the show.
