The 2020 Hartford Athletic season was the club's second season of existence and their second in the USL Championship, the second tier of American soccer. [1] This article covers the period from October 20, 2019, the day after Hartford's final match of the 2019 regular season, to the conclusion of the 2020 USLC Playoff Final, scheduled for November 12–16, 2020. [2]
Hartford finished its inaugural season in next to last place in the Eastern Conference, seven table positions and fourteen points out of the playoff spots. The club parted ways with head coach Jimmy Nielsen [3] just seven days after the 2019 season's end and signed former Southampton U-23 coach Radhi Jaïdi to fill the vacancy on November 8. [4] The club also parted ways with COO Donovan Powell five days later. [5]
The club began announcing roster moves in October, also, quickly announcing the return of four players from the 2019 roster ( Harry Swartz, Alex Dixon, Alex Davey, and Nicky Downs), [6] with the return of Danny Barrera [7] and Mads Jørgensen [8] being announced in early November, and the return of Mike Novotny [9] being announced in early December. New signings began in earnest in late November with the addition of Aiden Mesias, [10] former Fresno FC defender Sam Strong, [11] Brazilian defender Gabriel Torres, [12] 2019 Greenville Triumph center back Kevin Politz, [13] Cal State Northridge products Dre Deas [14] and Alex Lara, [15] Dartmouth midfielder Noah Paravicini, [16] and UT-Rio Grande Valley midfielder Arthur Rogers. [17] In January, the club signed San Antonio FC's all-time leading scorer Éver Guzmán, [18] Brazilian defender Matheus Silva, [19] and announced the return of forward Mac Steeves. [20] In February, the club announced loan deals for goalkeeper Parfait Mandanda [21] and Southampton U-23 midfielder Tyreke Johnson. [22]
