After leading Canada’s men’s team to the World Cup, the national soccer organization and coach Herdman face questions about whether his future is in Canada, or elsewhere
In every team’s final news conference at a World Cup, it’s tradition to ask the head coach if he plans to stick around.
Few coaches in the world have a gig this sweet. Herdman is such a big fish in Canada’s soccer pond that he essentially runs the program. He’s, which Canada will be in by virtue of being a co-host. He’s still young , says he loves living here and is signed for the long term.But with that caveat, from the outside looking in, Canada is a great job.
That said, judged from the perspective of social capital, the New Zealand job is not a promotion. It’s not even a lateral move. It’s trading the big leagues for the bush leagues. Bontis affirmed the “full confidence” of the board in Herdman, which is weird. He just took Canada to its first World Cup in 40 years. Why wouldn’t the board have confidence in him?, which is also weird. That’s not news.
Instead, it took hours to wrangle all the top decision-makers at Canada Soccer to patch up a complex, interwoven, multiperson denial. That has the whiff of an organization protesting o’ermuch.
