To me, Mendes seems like the perfect choice to be Cosmos B head coach. As a player and embassador for the club, no one knows what it means to be a Cosmo more than him. Now more than ever, it’s important that the club keep that alive as they move through an uncertain future. This signing will also no doubt get supporters pumped to get behind Cosmos B. Do you think Mendes is the right man for the job
