There photo is hosted along with a bunch of hamilton city mock jerseys and crests. I do like the beaver nonchalantly skiing backwards though. No, not the real crest.

narduch Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Larson was tweeting this morning that the coach won't be announced today. But that they are close to making that announcement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thinking. He happens to have won a world u-21 championship with Serbia, so for youth he is expert, he knows the NA market and mindset, and is very close to At Madrid having played there, where he was greatly admired. He was released by Fire last November. Edited February 11, 2020 by Unnamed Trialist ironcub14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he be a good hire? Reading around, things seem mixed. Did well youth coaching but only had one good season with the Fire (Schweinsteiger's first). Still, doesn't mean he'll be bad for the CPL, the player development focus of the league might make him a good fit BuzzAndSting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narduch Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 The Fire were a cheaply run team though. So perhaps not all his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironcub14 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) I'm going with Paunovic as well, saw it on r/CanPL as well. I'm assuming Floro's name has already come up in this thread, yes? Somebody guessed David Villa and I had to smile, because I couldn't easily think of a no to the possibility lol. Never mind, I forgot about the Queens USL investment lol. Edited February 11, 2020 by ironcub14 CanadaFan123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His resume seems to suggest he could do a lot better so this would be a great signing if true. Edited February 11, 2020 by CanadaFan123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrennanFan Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Floro would be very interesting. I think we'd see a very different brand of football from him at the CPL level, compared of what he thought was best for the CanMNT. I'm also ok with DeGuz resurfacing. Forgive and forget right?

CanadaFan123 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Yeah Mista would be below all of the names mentioned. No coaching experience and a half-season in North America. The only thing is that he's had 2 seasons with Atleti. ironcub14 and BuzzAndSting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts? Would he be a good hire? If it is Mista, then that is disappointing compared to Paunovic. I also find it odd they'd hire a guy coaching youth in the Real Madrid system. Has this been confirmed? Paunovic would be outstanding. I know he did not shine in Chicago, but MLS is not a normal system, you are not always awarded for your talent on the bench. He took Serbia to the u-20 WC, and if you saw that team or that tournament, you could see a real quality coach. He was also a really great player, a sort of dynamic attacking mid, smart on the ball, with all that football savvy and winning mindset the Balkans players typically show. Mista had his talent, his flashes, probably did not get to his full potential. I have no idea if he has any coaching ability. I think Paunovic would have asked for more than they could pay, I am editing my post thinking about this. While MIsta, first time out, may be able to accept 150k Canadian.

Big_M Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 theres no way it would be paunovic with a salary cap in this league as he just coached mls and his salary demands would be too high..if he stays in north america its probably for usl championship or to wait for an opportunity in mls and go in a bad situation like wilmer and try to turn it around..except cabrera at least won a cup in his three seasons in houston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty damn close to confirmed - there was an article in the Spanish press 3 days ago that hinted at it. I don't know much anything about him as a coach, but it does appear he's in FM2020?
