RIP Johan Cruyff | 1947-2016 pic.twitter.com/F5jWDUE9V3 — D.C. United (@dcunited) 24 de marzo de 2016Even so, Cruyff was a sensation.
Coinciding with the decline of the league, the team changed owner the following season and let the Dutchman go.
Cruyff issued his own orders to his players – the majority of whom looked up to him – and disobeyed the coach.
He also increased attendance by 60% at the stadium and led the team to the playoffs where it fell in the first round to his old club, the Aztecs.
In 1981 Cruyff played in Spain for a few months with second division side Levante and returned briefly to Washington to play 10 more games.
