Domènec Torrent Appointed NYCFC Head Coach (June '18) / Mutually Agree to Part Ways (November '19)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
I know you're joking but I honestly think our only shot at him leaving would be a scenario in which Dome and CFG mutually agreed this wasn't for him and he went back to his spot next to Pep. Any firing sets a terrible precedent that coaches in the CFG ranks that step up to take a job won't be given a fair shot.
I don’t disagree with you regarding the optics, but I mean, he had a fair shot, and the moment he started tinkering we started losing. Because he couldn’t check his ego at the door and be a caretaker until the offseason, he ruined a team that, albeit had issues, was rolling.
I agree with everything you said but we are all looking at it as nycfc fans only. The problem is that the vast majority of the cfg coaching ranks and the majority of the soccer world have no knowledge of the details and will only see a guy that got canned after half a season with a roster he inherited. That looks terrible and it could do considerable damage to our ability to recruit coaches in the future. No way they fire him, never going to happen.
Or the flip side is that coaches will see that a nepotistic move was made by CFG for the benefit of a career assistant who inherited a team at the top and didn’t need an in-season roster makeover. It’d be different if the team sucked when he took over, because getting fired after being stuck with crappy players is unfair, but Dome was given a team in the penultimate seed in the standing, a talented roster and yet made it worse with his tinkering and Amagat. Good managers aren’t stupid - they can read a situation, or they can have their agent do the research & get the back story.
Good managers can also fit their system to fit the players, not try to fit a square peg into a round hole. The goal is to win, and when it was evident his stuff wasn't working, he needs to put them in the best position to win.
The fucked up thing is if he keeps on sucking, it's "clearly" going to be the shitty MLS players fault because he won so many trophies with Pep so it could never be his fault.
Very easy for him to go back to Manchester for "family reasons".
making more money for your family is a "family reason" right? like "shhhhhhhhit, im gonna get fired here. Let me go hide in peps shadow a little longer an collect a paycheck in peace."
When Mourinho actually cares, he’s the best at this.
Compare that to the guy that replaced him at Chelsea. He almost ran Hazard out of town.
He did also win a premier league title by forcing the team into his system, to be fair.
4 weeks ago, Claudio Ranieri inquired about the Colorado and New England jobs.
So I guess he was interested in MLS.
Now he’s the Fulham Manager.

I don't think he's done enough to deserve to stay, but there was really no realistic way they were firing him this offseason. He probably better not get off to a slow start next season, though.
from the tweets i read , he was "offered" to those teams. i dont know if its just agent talking to a bunch of teams and see what sticks.
