I wonder if we'd try to rehire him and poach him to come back here instead of to Miami. It was working before, after all.
CFG is a vindictive organization. They may have publicly, and possibly privately, parted on good terms, but I’d be very surprised if they’d welcome him back.

I think there's a great probability that Unai becomes the next NYCFC manager than Vieira.

can you imagine vieira leaving his team half way again?

I mean he's got them in what, 15th place? I wonder if he thinks he's on the way out there, so he's got a fallback?

But yes, that would be highly strange and is the main reason I question the report. Unless he's fired by Nice, I find it hard to believe he's leaving there midseason to come back to MLS when his whole goal has been to manage in a top-5 league. Why would he come back to MLS?
 
So if PV leaves Nice mid-season to join Miami is Miami going to compensate Nice? Or is Nice just going to say “nah, we’re good, take him?”

Using MLS’ archaic rules, Miami will pay NYCFC directly for the fee Nice owed when luring PV away. Same use of rules when a player leaves an MLS club for overseas and then returns to the league.

Kidding.... but not kidding... could see this happening..... but it won’t.....
 
It'll be Pep, coaching via videoconference.

What I posted in the Claudio Reyna departure thread...

Are we even going to have a coach? Or will someone from the Man City coaching staff devise our gameplans part time and just email someone the tactics package and training sessions?

Convention would say that Miami would have to pay compensation but, I don’t think this story has legs. Vieira is being heavily linked with the Arsenal job so a move back stateside is unlikely at this stage.
 
Odd that there have been no rumors about the coach for 2-3 weeks. GVB was talked up for a while but that chatter has stopped, with nothing to replace it. If they were talking to anyone notable you figure there would be news. It's unusually quiet even by NYCFC standards. I had thought that the longer it went the less likely it would turn out to be GVB but now I'm wondering if it is him again just based on the total lack of rumors of anyone else.

Aso it's boring as hell.
