The only name mentioned worthy would be Bradley, and Jurgen (even though in the article it says, anyone not named him) To be fair to the writer, it's tough to determine or draft a list of coaches based on the fact that we don't know the CSA's budget and we don't know what X, Y, Z "candidate" coaches have been paid in the past.

Yea the blog seems new. Not gonna call the list shit or anything harsh. Little stale since a similar list was done back when Floro was sacked but it is good to see bloggers writing about it. Maybe if every Canadian soccer blog and outlet started writing about how Canada really needs a new coach the CSA would feel a little pressured.

matty Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Totally reading to much into this but Findlay didn't give a comment about the game in June against Curacao. He's given a comment for each friendly announcement since South Korea. Scotland end of the Findlay era? Just me being a dumb Canadian soccer conspiracy theorist?

Zem Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 8 minutes ago, Areathrasher said: Zambrano would certainly tick most people's boxes on this thread: MLS experience, experience in Latin America and speaks good English. The only drawback would be that he has no international coaching experience, but it seems like he'd be a very good fit overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CSA meme is still alive and well despite some of our best organizational years under Big Vic. Filling his shoes is going to be very hard. The perception that the CSA is a "joke" still exists.

If you read the Philly article he started his second season in LA below par (2-3) and so they let him go. With the Red Bulls they missed the playoffs. He has suggested it might have been racial prejudice and the fact that he annoyed a number of soccer people in so-cal by starting his own elite u-19 league.

The reality is... no he's not a big name, however he checks off a lot of boxes to what weve talked about that our coach should have (Latin American, MLS experience, etc). All I hope for is that we get our best available players for this tournamemt, and prepare to attack and score goals. We just can't go another Gold cup without scoring a goal, or playing defend90.
