Mo’s new coach
Whichever side of the Mo Johnston debate you’re on, you can argue your case based on Toronto FC’s hiring of Preki as their new head coach.
The pro-Mo forces will say that leading a mid-talent Chivas USA team to 40 wins, 21 draws and three playoff spots in three seasons proves the man can get results. He certainly fits Mo’s demand for MLS experience, and his no-nonsense approach to defence and team attitude is long overdue in the Redcoat boot room.
Mo blasters can counter – once again – that Mo gave a job to an old pal, and that TFC needs a GM who has wider, deeper contacts throughout the vast world of global soccer. Oh, and Preki-coached teams have never advanced past the first round of MLS playoff coin-flippage.
I will not seriously try to argue against either side.
