The Ottawa Fury are pleased to announce that Stephen O'Kane will return as the head coach of the Ottawa Fury PDL team for the 2012 season. O'Kane resigned as the club's head coach following the 2009 season, due to personal reasons, after leading the club to its first-ever post-season on the shoulders of an undefeated regular season. "I am ecstatic to be back coaching the Fury PDL team. I've missed it every minute since I left and I am over the moon to have another turn at the helm," said a vibrant O'Kane. "I care very deeply for the PDL team and its success and I've already started the work to building this team to reach even higher levels than we were able to reach before." With the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group securing a professional soccer franchise to play in the NASL, O'Kane believes that this will result in further interest for players to get involved with the Fury and is looking forward to helping further the careers of these talented players.

"First, a big vote of thanks to Klaus Linnenbruegger who stepped in as interim head coach 3 games into the 2011 season. Klaus' vast experience was evident as he brought stability and confidence to a squad who finished the season a much improved team," commented Fury Owner and CEO, John Pugh "Moving forward, we are very pleased to welcome back Steve O'Kane as head coach of the 2012 Ottawa Fury PDL team. The Program made great strides under his leadership and his return will be much anticipated. During his two year tenure he elevated our program into one of the best in the entire 64 team league, created many opportunities for our players to move onto higher levels in the game and fostered a really exciting brand of football for our fans to enjoy."
