During the Y98 pregame show, Dale Schilly caught up with CITY Head Coach, Yoann Damet, ahead of the team’s final of 7 matches in 21 days hosting San Diego FC at Energizer Park in their last home game of the 2026 MLS regular season. Coach Damet reflected on his and the team’s journey this season with so much support from the fans at home and on the road, especially the Open Cup final. He also shared how having so many games in a congested schedule challenges the ability to train and grow players individually and collectively as a team - yet it’s something they need to embrace as they will continue to compete in multiple competitions next season. Finally, Coach talked about the currently injured midfielder, Alex Matan - a difference-maker on the pitch with his skill-set and game knowledge, yet believing there’s still more from Mati that we are yet to see.
