New York City FC It has been a club with a lot of name, but little history to draw from to talk about its greatness. Yes, there have been great players like Andrea Pirlo, Patrick Vieira and an MVP in David Villa, but neither could lead this team to the glory of its first title. Now Ronny Deila, as a coach, can have that opportunity and has great spiritual support behind him.
Who had done better before him was the Spanish Domènec Torrent. With him he went to the playoffs as the best in the East in the regular phase and it was a great step. Pep Guardiola himself recognized him this morning at a press conference to also send a message of support to the club brother of Manchester City.
“Many congratulations to them (on reaching the final). With Domènec Torrent he took a step forward by placing them first of his conference and despite leaving in the first round (of playoffs). With this new coach, the team has achieved something good and this organization was created for that. It’s good for the brand, for New York City, for the city and its people to be conference champions and fight their way to the final. On behalf of all Manchester City we wish them the best, they are an important part of our family and we hope they can win the final ”, said the Spaniard to be questioned about the present of New Yorkers.
New York City FC will have a full team thanks to the termination of the suspension of Valentín Castellanos. This will be their first meeting of the year against the Portland Timbers as they did not see each other at the conference crossroads and will have a lot to work on playing at home from Providence Park. If won, this would be the first title for any New York team in MLS.
Pep Guardiola stays close to New York City
Pep Guardiola broke up with Barcelona and decided to spend a sabbatical in New York City. His affection for the city grew and with that it has been understood that, thanks to being part of the City Group, the next step in his coaching career would be to return to the United States to manage New York City FC. His arrival could be taking place for the 2024 season.
