Joining Team Dignitas as the Season 5 LCS NA Head Coach is Sami 'Rico' Harbi, LoL coach and also former team manager of the Fnatic LCS EU lineup. Rico went to the World Championship S3 with Fnatic and he studied opponents from other regions to help the team prepare and make sure they wouldn't get caught off-guard.
Sami 'Rico' Harbi, Team Dignitas LCS Head Coach:
"I am thrilled to join Team Dignitas and their already active League of Legends support staff as Coach. We will do our best with the players, remote coach and analysts to live up to the fans expectations and finish this split with enough certainties to bring Dignitas to the ranking it deserves in the future. League of Legends is getting more and more competitive split after split and we will work hard to keep up while setting our own style."

Looks like they had over 200 applicants but went with Rico in the end. I wonder who else got considered for the position.
