Pascal Jansen (To Be) Named NYCFC Head Coach
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
I did just see this rumor on Twitter, but Des spent a week with us during the 2023 season, so that's where he would have met NYCFC players/personnel. NYCFC players following him on Instagram is not an indication Des Buckingham is the coach, though if he wants the job he should absolutely be top of the conversation.
Also, Churchson's idea that the team wants to keep its new head coach a secret is pretty strange. The only possible reason I could see is that they want to announce it after the new coach has his visa, but aside from that they're not hiding the identity of the new coach for funsies.

Yea unless they all started following him within the last couple of weeks, I wouldn't give that any credibility as evidence of anything.
He does seem plausible as a candidate though.
Which, frankly, makes sense. The holidays are a perfect time for the entire organization to take a week or two off. Training camp starts middle of January, so it's their last (only) chance to take some time off before they start cranking again. Especially considering we played all the way to the end of November.
I imagine if you work in sports, the offseason is a great time to use your vacation time.
Ronny Deila was first mentioned on the forums on 1/2/2020 and officially hired 1/6/2020, and there were no rumors about anyone before then apart from the Artete/GBV stuff. We're getting close but all of this has happened before

CFG Head Honchos: "You're the man for me"
That play style seems right up our alley and exactly what we're looking for. Full acks getting heavily involved has been a staple of our attack for years now.
I'll say this, I do like that our play style doesn't change with the coach. I do like that we hire a coach who fits our style, not the other way around.
+1. First time hearing about him. Hopefully he stays 3+ years, develops our young team, shows improvements in results and gets us the 2nd star.
I'm reading an article about him from a few years ago by Sky Sports. His goal is to become a Premier League manager.
I think that's why he's interested in our job -- if he does well here, whenever Pep leaves he hopes he will be set up to climb the ladder to Manchester. Smart career move by him to come into CFG with Pep maybe a few years from leaving Man City.
Pascal Jansen interview: AZ Alkmaar's London-born head coach on turning things around in his first Eredivisie job
Exclusive interview with Pascal Jansen, the AZ Alkmaar head coach with the British pop-star mum, who has gone from youngest Pro Licence coach to helping his club overcome stadium roof collapses and cancelled title races to become the Eredivisies form team
In that same article, he says he likes working with young players.
The more I read about him, the more I like. He's had success everywhere he's went, has the CFG philosophy, and likes to coach young players.
The thing I don't like is he clearly now has a history of leaving teams in the middle of a season if he sees a better opportunity. I do not want a Ronny Deila in 2022 redux, but this guy will absolutely leave us high and dry if something better opens up.
