Craig Forrest said at the end of Soccercentral today that there's apparently been interest already from Roberto Donadoni, Franco Baresi, Iain Dowie and Carlos Quieroz.
Thoughts!?!?!?

Queiroz eh?
I started a thread about whether or not he would come, and by the reception, it seems like he's not very well liked...
MLSE, if you're reading my posts:
SIGN JOSE MOURINHO!
dowie? meh! quieroz? would be a good assitsant coach to have around, but meh as head coach.
donadoni and baresi, don't really know enough about them as managers, but they're certainly interesting names, much higher profile than I would have thought, Dowie would be about the level i thought would have been our best options from abroad.
Quieroz has the better managerial record out of the four of them, and he was in New York when MLS was young. Seem like candidates with hype, more so then actual results, but I think any of those footballing minds are competitive with any coach in the league.

After a short spell as Director of Football at Fulham, Baresi returned to Milan as a youth team coach in 2002. He was appointed head coach of AC Milan's Primavera Under-20 squad. In 2006, he was moved by the club to coach the Berretti Under-19 squad, with his former fellow Filippo Galli replacing him at the helm of the Primavera squad. He retired from coaching and was replaced by Roberto Bertuzzo.
doesn't sound all that impressive, would be a big gamble.
Donadoni's record isn't great either, more experience, but not much reuslts wise.
hmm, initial excitement dying down.
lol such huge names for a failing club wow.
Who's most offensive minded between those 4 coaches?
Queiroz makes no sense. He could get a very big job in Europe.

Does any one know if Dowie coached Dichio at QPR and if so, did they get along?
There is a comment in the book "the Beckham Experiment" that no European coach has ever come into MLS and been successful. The ones that have been in Europe and have had success here (Sigi for example) spent a considerable amount of time in the US system before they coached here. Assuming Preki to be successful on his career coaching resume, he played here before coaching and has a history with this game.
The concept of the draft (rewarding teams for finishing lower in the table) and the salary cap conspire against coaches that don't have that background.
As much as I hate to admit it, the writers of the Beckham Experiment may have it right.
he only coached there from may-oct 2008, when we had danny.
Oh yeah, the guy's got zero good options.

Dowie all the way! But then I'm biased because he has caps for my country.
Donadoni - someone the CSA should consider as opposed to TFC
Baresi - don't know much about him as a coach. All seems very brief.
Dowie - unfamiliar with his work
Queiroz - ok maybe there's something to be said here, but a lot of due diligence would have to be done first.
I can just see most of these guys hitting a rough spell and going to MLSE for the transfer money when the window opens to which they say "transfer money?"
Personally, I'm waiting for the guy who knows central and south america like the back of his hand. THAT'd be something that would peak my interest. There has to be someone available, Argentina they fire a coach every 30 seconds FFS.
If we were going to another English coach I'd prefer curbishley to Dowie
This would be interesting but how would they react to the rough and tumble, less individual skills type of MLS soccer....unfortunately thats our fate....patient steps are needed........for sure......I'll wait for Klinnsman's referal....is there not a german or Dutch exp mgr out there....one would think maybe they could be flexible yet tough?
ALL HELL'S BROKEN LOOSEhttp://gfycat.com/SharpKindArrowana
There are some good managers out there with out a job. I personally would be sending truck loads of money to Martin O'Neill. Also I would give Ronald Koeman some consideration.
Out of the four mentioned I would go with Roberto Donadoni
