WOW! Charleston going out and getting Memphis's manager who was able to take his team to the Conference SFs in 2022. Pirmann had a talented squad in Memphis, now let's see what he can build in Charleston! #USL https://t.co/BeFLAcYLu2

The fact of the matter is that Ben Pirmann should be running an MLS club right now. I can’t get over how much of a coup this is for @Chas_Battery and what an endorsement this is in terms of the club’s ambitions.

Promise you the @USLChampionship table is going to look a little different next year. Lee Cohen was extensive in this search, can't wait to see what this pair does together. Big moves by the @Chas_Battery over the last 58 days.#CB93 #UpTheBattery https://t.co/0ZJy8JLHUj

Legendary clubs make epic moves like this. A club with history of winning titles saw what a man like Ben Pirmann did with Memphis and even though Memphis didn’t lift a cup, it doesn’t mean Pirmann isn’t close. Battery gets into the final in 2-3 years. @DevonKerr9 big move 🏆 https://t.co/J9oXiUwEsh
