The Las Vegas Lights FC soccer team has landed a head coach to lead them into their first season.

José Luis Sánchez Solá, commonly referred to as “Chelís,” has been signed to a multiyear deal – as the team prepares for their 2018 season at Cashman Field.

The 58-year-old Chelís will become the first coach to be in charge of teams in the first and second divisions of soccer - both in the United States and Mexico.
