NASL Names Tiago Calvano to 2014 Best XI

Stone Sports Management would like to congratulate Brazilian defender Tiago Calvano for his selection to the 2014 NASL Best XI, as selected by each club's input.  Calvano helped Minnesota United FC to the 2014 NASL Woosman Trophy awarded to the club with most combined points over the Spring and Fall Championships.  The Loons also won the 2014 Spring Season Championship. Calvano was one of four Minnesota United FC players to be named to the Best XI. NASL also nominated him for the Golden Ball Award (League MVP).  

Calvano provided leadership and consistency in the back and immediately became a presence within the club on and off the field.  Many considered him Minnesota United FC's most important international signing.  Calvano signed with Minnesota United FC at the start of 2014 after playing the last few seasons with Sydney FC and Newcastle Jets in the Australian A-League.  The club welcomed him and his transition to North America was smooth and beneficial.  

Minnesota United FC fans will be pleased to know that Calvano will return to Minnesota for the 2015 season.  Check out Calvano’s 2014 Minnesota United Highlights below.
