The yearly changing of the guard for the Philadelphia Union's television color commentator has brought back a former player to take over the role from Bob Rigby.
Alejandro Moreno is the latest person to hold he title of Union color commentator, according to a press release on the team's official website. The former Venezualan international is the fourth commentator in franchise history, following the one year stints of Philadelphia soccer legend Rigby (2012), former New England Revolution star Taylor Twellman (2011) and well known former MLS veteran Kyle Martino (2010).
Moreno, 33, has most recently done work for ESPN as an analyst for soccer games, including his guest debut during the 2011 MLS Cup playoffs.
Selected by Philadelphia in the 2010 MLS Expansion Draft, Moreno went on to feature 26 times for the Union, scoring twice and assisting on seven other goals. He last played for Chivas USA in 2011, before retiring to pursue his post-soccer career in the broadcasting field.
JP Dellacamera will return for his fourth season as the Union's play by play man, while Tony Limarzi, and former Philadelphia KiXx goalkeeper Peter Pappas will be the on air talent for the pre-game and halftime shows.
The Union revealed that television partners Comcast SportsNet/The Comcast Network, ABC6 and the Live Well Network will once against broadcast games in 2013.
