Head Coach Option: Roberto Donadoni?

The Offside - NY Red Bulls 29 September @ 02:33 PM EST

Anyone who even lightly follows Serie A (like me) knows that Napoli is in a bit of trouble. Currently standing at the bottom half of the league tables, Napoli's performances have been considered disappointing this season, even after an exciting 2-1 win against Siena this weekend, in a match that was billed to be a make or break for their head coach, former Italian National manager and Metrostars player, Roberto Donadoni.

Isolationism? Nope, just realism out of MLS and more nonsense out of Canadian fans

Fighting Talker 19 August @ 10:44 AM EST

This material has overwhelmed me in fact, to the extent that it has held me back writing about it at all. Click to continue reading...
