Eric Ramsay wants Minnesota United to move on quickly from their poor run of form, starting with Sporting Kansas City on Saturday.
Minnesota were on a five-match winning run in the MLS, but have failed to win either of their previous two outings, drawing with Colorado Rapids before losing to Los Angeles FC in midweek.
They still sit fourth in the Western Conference, though, and are only five points behind leaders Real Salt Lake.
Ramsay remains optimistic despite their recent form, but admits they need to address the problems sooner rather than later.
“The general level of performance [in the last game] was obviously far better than the one before,” he said.
“We certainly showed some positive steps, but I know the big thing for us is that we approach Saturday’s game with real positivity in a real constructive way. We’ve got to see [the loss to LAFC] for what it is and move on swiftly.
