Domènec Torrent Appointed NYCFC Head Coach (June '18) / Mutually Agree to Part Ways (November '19)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
If the front office can say with a straight face that "this is the right time" for us to get rid of the best performing manager in our history, then I have to wonder what the wrong time would have looked like.
We wanted a pineapple and he wanted a pine cone. It had to come to an end at some point.
I think I asked this before: can anybody name a solvent top league team in any sport who had 2 head coaches/managers quit in consecutive years? I imagine it probably has happened before but I cannot think of any.
might be a hot take, but I really don't blame the FO for this.
Get ready to wait for the replacement.
This isn't a top league. This is a middle-of-the-pack league in the world, if even that. Just because it's in America doesn't make it a top league.
December 11, 2013: Jason Kreis announced
November 2, 2015: Jason Kreis fired
November 9, 2015: Patrick Vieira announced
June 11, 2018: Patrick Vieira departs
June 11, 2018: Dome Torrent announced
November 8, 2019: Dome Torrent departs
History would state that NYCFC/CFG is quick to announce these things. Wonder how long we'll wait. Offseason roster building starts within 2 weeks so the head coach would probably want to be included in that.
Interesting that it's Marty making the statements and not Brad or Claudio.
no but their actions dont help. they do delay on transfers and if its true heber was 8th option then why is FO not able to catch that a top 3? Where was Mitri in the list then? im not saying blow it all on one DP but CFG doesnt really need to be frugal.
EDIT: there are holes to fill, well see how quick they are to fix them and not wait till three weeks in to fix them.
So it's beginning of november... CCL starts in february. that gives us 2.5 months to find a head coach to even remotely have a chance at preparing for CCL. That's not a lot of time. so who will be doing the interim job if we don't have a head coach by CCL time? and if not by CCL time, then basically the new guy won't really have a true preseason either.
sigh... gonna be a rough season

MY NEW YORK JETS!!!!! Bill Parcells, then Bill Bellichek. Didn't even take 2 years! More like 2 minutes!!
I hope the new guy will continue with Dome's tactics at the start till there's more time to implement his own.
Tough to compare Vieira leaving and Kreis firing though considering Vieira was clearly planning on leaving and it was in season so we needed a replacement right away.
