I'll always be of the opinion that having Piotr Nowak, who once told an opposing player to "go back to Africa" during a preseason game, as his first manager probably did more to gently caress him up than anything else.

When he managed in Philly he forced players to go on a ten-mile run sans water as a form of punishment, and he also revealed that he thought concussions were literally not a thing that existed.

There some was other fun poo poo that came out in his post-firing lawsuit. I want to say something along the lines of a motivational tactic of his being to punch players that he felt weren't paying enough attention during practice.

apparently Houston has sacked Nagamura

https://twitter.com/soccermattersGD/status/1566912169375109120

He was kind of an uninspiring hire and I don't think has done anything to convince, but I also am not sure he has done much wrong and was handed a pretty big turn around job. I guess i'm fine with sacking him but im curious if they have someone else teed up already

His team let Nouhou score, and then proceeded to lose to Seattle who had lost 7 out of the previous 10 games. That's pretty much grounds for firing for any coach.

Uninspiring but he'd done a fine job with Swope Park/KC II considering their front office was having him play mostly teenagers in a senior-level league for four years. Granted that Houston's bottom of the West but I'm still surprised they didn't give him at least a full season.

According to this this article he's still got one more year on his deal, which is currently paying him $4M/yr. Any trade would require the other team to take on his salary, so he's basically unmovable within the league.

...Granted, with the state of Atlanta this season, Pineda could be out the door first anyway. Maybe Atlanta can bring back Tata after Mexico sack him in December

I wouldn't be surprised if Martinez is playing elsewhere (outside the U.S.) next year though.

Article on Marcelo Balboa and Richard Fleming's last broadcast for Colorado happening today. Mentions Apple looking to recruit 5-7 pairs of English and Spanish broadcasters but nothing on if any of the current broadcasters are being considered/have applied.

Bit of a shame, they were definitely one of the top broadcasting duos in the league year-in year-out.

MLS are looking for 10-14 broadcast pairs (I feel like they would need slightly more than that) and I hope that's room for some of the better local teams around the league, though I know it won't be the same in terms of fanbase, team, and commentary crew getting to know each other and establishing a relationship etc. I hope the games will at least be called onsite!

probably still worth it in terms of killing blackouts, etc, as much as I dislike Apple!
