Domènec Torrent Appointed NYCFC Head Coach (June '18) / Mutually Agree to Part Ways (November '19)

[LionNYC]

Villa and Pep both call him "Dome." I'll confess when I first read that I thought "but he's not bald," for just a moment. But then I wonder how is it pronounced?

doh-MAY
DOH-may
dohm
doum
dom

doh-May based on Spanish speech function on Google translation.

His è is Catalan though (edit)

The MLS guys in the video you posted went with 2 syllables and ever so slight emphasis on the first.

I want to guess.

I'm going with "Domm-ee". Just a hunch.

For those more familiar with MCFC's coaching ranks is Torrent truly Pep's "right hand" when compared to the others that had been rumored or is it a bit of a PR upsell? Would they have claimed the same about Arteta or any of the other rumored coaches should they have been the ones chosen?

I just can't wait until we domenate teams...

We're going to score a torrential downpour of goal...

I think it’s all PR spin and they all are in on his meetings and evil plans.

The man usually described as Pep's right hand man is Manual Estiarte, who is a former water polo player and therefore less of a coach than a general training/personal assistant guy - they are very close friends and I believe it's said that Pep won't make a major decision without Manuel's approval (sure I read that somewhere, anyway). Torrent is probably the actual football specialist who is closest to Pep though.

I really hope we get to see some of Dome during the Amazon series that covers Man City's 2017/18 season. Maybe this will be a part of it in some sort of epilogue...

Is it all out of 10? I see he goes high as 17. What am I looking at here?

It's marks out of 100, the guy is basically clueless.

(Nah, it's out of 20, so he's rated pretty highly. Also - how are people still sleeping on Football Manager?!)

TT is kind of a moron. Tata, Carlos Alberto Pereira, Carlos Quieroz, Ruud Gullit, Walter Zenga all significantly bigger resumes than our new coach.

Not a great track record of success, but they were bigger hires.

It's almost like you posted a few names.
