Jason Kreis To Be Replaced As Coach Of NYCFC

He also could be the first head coach that NYCFC fired.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Grant Wahl, “multiple sources connected to Manchester City and New York City FC say Jason Kreis’s job as the coach at NYCFC is in real danger”. Vieira has been linked with Premier League managerial positions, and NYCFC fans may view his stint in MLS as a way to groom him for the eventual Man City job once Manuel Pellegrini vacates.

Vieira is highly valued by Manchester City after impressing as manager of their development squad, but the club are well aware of his desire to move into senior management and are thought to be considering whether to offer him a chance to further his coaching career while remaining attached to them.

There’s no questioning Vieira’s qualifications.

Vieira has been long considered a likely long-term option to manage Manchester City.

He would certainly be an intriguing hire for NYCFC, especially given his familiarity with City youngsters like Shay Facey and Angelino, who have both spent time on loan in New York this season and could return to Yankee Stadium for 2016, although talks are said to be tentative at this stage.

Do you think Vieira would be a good hire for NYCFC?

The Gunners legend could reportedly replace Jason Kreis as head coach of City’s MLS-based sister club. It’s also 10 wins, possibly 11 considering what happens on Sunday, with a makeshift Starting XI on a weekly basis. Most recently, in their loss to Orlando City on Friday, NYCFC’s lineup raised many eyebrows when Kreis opted to start Kwame Watson-Siriboe, and to dress three goalkeepers but only one defender in reserve.
