[Manchester City](/source/Manchester_City_F.C.) FC, an English club with ambitions to spread a style of “beautiful” football around the globe, joined up with the [New York Yankees](/source/New_York_Yankees) and handed the job of Sporting Director of New York City FC to [Claudio Reyna](/source/Claudio_Reyna), former captain of the US National team. When Reyna selected Jason Kreis as the team's first coach, a race began to find players in the months before the inaugural season. Global soccer stars like [David Villa](/source/David_Villa) and [Frank Lampard](/source/Frank_Lampard) join a growing squad of American rising stars, to face the highs and lows, joys and sacrifices, disappointments and triumphs of the first season. Playing in front of their home fans in [Yankee Stadium](/source/Yankee_Stadium), at a time when soccer has never been more popular in the US, they fight to win the hearts of New Yorkers.[1][2]
