Episode 182:
NYCFC started off the week with another miserable performance in the US Open Cup. Patrick Vieira threw out what ever lineup he could conjure with the limited number eligible players. The bright spots were the first start for Jon Lewis, the first 2018 appearance for James Sands and the first team debut of 15 year old Joe Scally.
NYCFC would draw Atlanta United on the weekend 1-1 at Yankee Stadium despite peppering Brad Guzan with 25 shots, 10 of them on target.
The next loss would be the biggest, the departure of head coach Patrick Vieira. After weeks of speculation and rumors and denials, the official announcement was made that Vieira would be taking over for Nice.
The next move while technically an unknown, should be considered a win. NYCFC shortly after making Vieira’s departure official would name Domenec Torrent as the new head coach.
Dylan Butler from MLSSoccer.com and ProSoccerUSA joins the show to discuss Vieira’s legacy and the impact on NYCFC.
