All I can say right now is that there are legs to this.
Domènec Torrent Appointed NYCFC Head Coach (June '18) / Mutually Agree to Part Ways (November '19)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Austin?
Austin already has Josh Wolff
Don't forget, Miami doesn't have any coach yet... and they're looking to spend... and Dome could potentially be 'high profile' within MLS and MLS standards.
-edit-
and we all know how much Dome loves Ben Sweat, so maybe he decided he wants to join him in Miami?

Duh! Of course.
And how does Miami not have a coach yet? Dome would make sense there, if for no other reason than the strange European obsession with South Florida.
Totally forgot Chicago has a makeover, I think that’s plausible. I don’t think Miami since I believe they want international flashy name as manager.

I don't care where Dome goes , he left NYCFC good riddance.
I care because if he does leave for another MLS team, that can only indicate some sort of issues with our club. If he goes back to Europe, different story, but an MLS move makes it harder to defend CFG's stewardship of this club.
Dome, there is a fantastic option available in Orlando. Fantastic city with great culture.
(Laughing imagining Dome living in the armpit of Florida)
If he goes to Orlando, it would just stoke the MLS rivalry machine between us and them.
The intense rivalry between two teams 1000 miles apart, one of which has never made the playoffs and that have never played a meaningful game against each other.
I think Domé is a good coach and I wish he stayed. But away from the field I do not have much respect for his judgment or temperament. I specifically think he is thin-skinned and I doubt he quite understands MLS salary cap nuances and limits.
So, no.

My point was that if he leaves for another MLS job given the commentary about why he left, it means the work situation at NYCFC must really be a shitshow.
Maybe. Maybe not. He may have held a grudge ever since the bosses (rightfully) put the Great Dome on the chopping block early in the season. He’s both a snob and a baby, so it could be a lot about him. I am sure the bosses contributed as well, but this isn’t necessarily a clear indictment.

Yes, if he signs elsewhere in MLS it would raise serious questions about the reasoning for his departure.

That's very fair. I would think he was very hurt about the questions regarding his job performance. He does seem thin-skinned, so it could be as simple as that. But he's also a professional soccer coach who's been around the block. Surely he understands the way the sport works.
By itself in a vacuum, perhaps. Coupled with Reyna going to an organization that has a universally despised owner, no.
No, not in a vacuum. Fred’s suggestion was that Dome joining another MLS team means that CFG is a shitshow. My point is that given what we know, this could be a lot about Dome. I believe that it’s likely that he was embarrassed and ashamed that anyone could question his abilities. Even worse in a rec league like MLS. It could have been already over at that point. As I mentioned, CFG likely contributed because they are CFG. But this probably is a lot about Dome.
The Claudio situation has nothing to do with it.
