I would take him too. Don’t blame him I’m the slightest for Miami’s first year performance.
He’d be a good manager with our roster. More pragmatic than Vanney but not outright defensive by any means.

Interview with Steve Cherundolo about wanting to be the head coach of an MLS team. He says that he’s had conversations with MLS teams about head coaching opportunities.
I dunno if Diego Alonso wants to manage in MLS anymore though.
Apparently he had a end of season meeting with the ownership which went so bad that Alonso thought he got sacked and told a bunch of staff. Inter Miami ownership said he wasn't fired. Then today Diego Alonso 'mutually terminated'.
lol
I'd be totally ok with Diego Alonso though. Certainly he's got a better resume than the names being pandered around now
As I said in the closed thread..."Sign him up!"
I like Diego Alonso much more than Armas or Olsen.
I'm assuming he will go to DC United if he doesn't mind low pay just to get some first team mangerial experience. Pinedo & Armas apparently both walked on DC for what is presumed to be low wage offers. They're notorious cheapskates so not only will the manager get low pay (Olsen was on $400K), they will also not give a lot of money to build the roster.
Olsen has been gone since October 8th, they've managed nothing in 2 months since then, and they've already stolen our patented "2 weeks" maneuvre https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2020/...next-two-weeks . In the end, I will laugh if they just re-hire Olsen and I actually saw that rumored as he is, because it's DCU, on their candidate list.
Replying to
@SoccerInsider
Ben Olsen has begun DCU front-office work in an advisory role, Levien said. Olsen did interview for Toronto job, but he's not a finalist. Long friendship with GM Ali Curtis led to that. I don't have any inside knowledge at TFC, but I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Armas is hired
some info from steven goff
I take the first bit as true, about Olsen.
I doubt its Armas.
So in the meantime, who's preparing training camp right now?
https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2021/...oaching-search
As for Olsen, Levien said he’s “already advising us on soccer-related decisions” in a still-developing front-office role, including weighing in on the coaching search and the construction of the club’s training facility. According to Washington Post's Steve Goff, Olsen reportedly interviewed for the Toronto FC coaching position, but is not considered a finalist. MLSsoccer.com reports Armas also had multiple interviews about the Toronto FC vacancy.
I would think whoever it is will be announced (or atleast leaked by the media) this week.
So, there are some foreign twitter accounts either leeching off Rollins reports or independently reporting that Vieira could be TFC's manager.

i tend to side with KJ on this one that veira will not be the gaffer
I appreciate KJ and all but if I recall correctly there has been at least one instance where he was proved wrong and rather than admit fault he pointed to some tiny technicality. Something like “well the contract wasn’t out when I tweeted so the deal wasn’t imminent although it eventually happened”
Anyway, based on everything I’ve heard so far I’d be surprised if it’s Viera.
How about this:
Victor Vasquez.
I would probably ask Cheyrou first if we were going that route. In fact, not sure why he hasn’t had his name floated already.
I do worry with certain coaching candidates, MLS experience or not, the world they come from football wise is too far away from the low end nature of MLS. The players just cannot do what they ask so they get disappointed and quit.
The three finalists Steve Cherubdolo, steve Caldwell, and Chris Armas.
Expect the coach to be one of these three
Caldwell? Seriously...?
Where exactly did you see this information? Or are you just speculating?
he did Captain Sunderland, Burnley, Birmingham, TFC and Scotland (part of a match). Does know something about the game and has quietly been working on his coaching. I wouldn't have thought he was the guy but when he was a player most on these boards praised his tenacity work ethic etc etc.
I’m not questioning his knowledge of the game or what kind of a player he was, but he criticizes tfc constantly and always speaks highly of other teams when commenting. I worry he wouldn’t be able to motivate players and would quickly lose the room. I hope to God I’m wrong but I certainly wouldn’t be feeling very confident if he was chosen.
On a personal note, I met him once and he seemed like a bit of a self absorbed douche. I got the feeling that he had an old school, hard ass type personality, doesn’t play so well with the younger generation. Maybe a bad day, but it didn’t leave a good impression.
Has Caldwell ever coached a pro men's team?
he has been helping out with the CNMT
Caldwell is about as qualified as Nelsen, and the results would likely match.
I cosign to what OgtheDim said as I personally I'm baffled that a premium club in MLS like Toronto FC can't attract a higher quality of coach from the world stage, honestly no disrespect to any of the 3 names mentioned above however my level of expectation from an outfit like MLSE is everything they do is Top Tier quality & nothing else will suffice. Why not have Manning announced that they have an interim tag place on one of the guys who worked under Greg till at least summertime where I'm certain more options will become available.... I would honestly have zero issue with that
At minimum we need a coach who has had a head coaching job previously at MLS or above level. That leaves Chris Armas. Definitely not a high profile signing, but at least he has MLS coaching experience.
