MM3/MM2/MM Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) In what will probably be a rebuilding season, first roster change announced, Akeem Garcia leaving to coach youth soccer in Halifax. Garcia may have his PR, has been there 4 years. https://northerntribune.ca/halifax-wanderers-akeem-garcia-coach/ Edited October 28, 2022 by MM3/MM2/MM toontownman and Mihairokov 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Perhaps a Wanderers coach in a couple of decades. It’s cool to see the area has had enough of an impact on him that he wants to stay and help grow the sport. Mihairokov and toontownman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copes Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Have there been any rumors around Halifax regarding roster decisions? We've heard from a couple teams but nothing from the Wanderers yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there has been a lot of talk about team turnover, I think this likely cements that we will see more big changes. Out with the old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM3/MM2/MM Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Pierre Lamothe the second confirmed departure from HFX, looks like another CPL destination.

Can't help but think maybe things would have been different if a new manager was already in place. I mean, if your contract is up and you know there is interest from other clubs (not that I'm saying there is in any of these cases), you would be more inclined to see what is on offer if your club doesn't have a manager in place.

Undoubtedly if there was a manager in place he would have input. With no manager I assume it comes down to Derek and Matt. And if the new manager is nearing, they could presumably wait? I of course don't know exactly how the contracts work. I'm assuming JGL approached them and asked them not to execute their option. It's all I can figure. If they had the manager hired and just not announced yet (but were beginning roster decisions) you'd think we'd be hearing about more players not having their options executed. Since we aren't... I figure this is a one-off. Pure speculation of course. Disappointing though, really and truly I figured he would be one of the few returning players.

I don't know much about him either but pretty much any Ontario player of any stature or status that did not go through Sigma went through Gheisar (and likely some of the ex Sigma lads as well).

Great guy, great coach. A lot of success and praise is given to Carmine Isaaco, but he’s definitely up there too. He was my coach for 2 seasons at North York Hearts before he went to Azzuri. He’s had a big influence on a lot of guys playing at Vaughan. A big reason for guys like Miller, Johnston, and DSC for who they are today! He loves the guys with personalities and who show their skill on the field. Something that was looked down upon in my days (OSA/CSA had a lot of British influence aka get your head down, get stuck in, and know how to play flat balls into the “mixer”) Patrice did a lot for me, and others (specifically for the guys who’s parents didn’t have a clue of what to do.) If he’s the coach, HFX has gotten a new fan. K Edgar, Pottsy3, Ftduck and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Patrice Gheisar named Halifax Wanderers head coach ‘Excitement beyond imagination’: Former L1O tactician Gheisar thrilled for new challenge as Wanderers coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy3 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I'd have to imagine he brings some L1O influence with him. Notable names he coached last season at Vaughan: Massimo Ferrin - 2022 L1O MVP and Golden Boot winner. Scored 23 goals in 15 matches. Only 23 and spent the previous season in the USL Championship. Another Canadian who came through Syracuse in the NCAA. Kosi Nwafornso - 25 years old, signed with Forge in 2021 but never played a match. Spent time in USL Two previously as well as four years in the A10 with St. Bonaventure. Scored 16 goals in 11 matches for Vaughan in the regular season, and capped it off with a hat trick and MVP in the finals. Alejandro Portal - 27 year old right back who already spent a season with HFX. Former Cuban international. Started nearly every match in Vaughan's championship run. Daniel Gogarty - 25 year old centre back who disappeared from soccer after not being renewed by York in 2019. Played 20 games in the inaugural CPL season. Spent some of last season with TFC II in Next Pro before returning to Vaughan where he became a 90 minute starter down the stretch.
