Welcome to Rose City
Señor Savarese, after all you are inheriting a winner from our previous manager
that left an all-around contender and your job will be to see a continuance of
his legacy, something not to difficult for you.
After all, you come
with a very impressive CV and loads of new ideas to inject into this amazing
club known for its game and especially its one of kind fans that uplifts this
squad spirits when these play at home.
Still you come from a
grand squad that in the seventies saw many luminaries parade in its initial
eleven in the likes of Pele, Chinaglia, Carlos Alberto and Franz Beckenbauer
and in your time, you manage the likes of former Merenge great Raul.
Still this is a new
challenge to manage in Major League Soccer and despite this association as the Premier
division in American soccer and the North American Soccer League that is not
too far behind in its levels with MLS.
For Savarese coming
to Portland he will have a squad in Timbers T2 to work with and oversee the developing of future
stars.
As the big squad is in need of manager with a vision and full development of new talent through its academies.
As the big squad is in need of manager with a vision and full development of new talent through its academies.
By combining experience
with youth, he can develop a true contender in this game elevating into one of
the most resilient and fiercest in the whole league as his arrival as the third
manager in Portland Timbers MLS history.
This man can turn
things around, for the better and with much more excitement in the field and
seeking a consistent display of good football in every match these play at home
or away, the name of the game will be seeing an all-around winner in the field.
This man accomplishment
as a player and one of the most winningest managers in the new NASL from a total
of 145 games with a record of 71 wins 44 draws and 30 losses, impressive you
bet!
Very well, he knows
the meaning of winning with a couple of Soccer Bowls won in 2013 and 2016, and
runner up in 2017, and three NASL regular season titles 2013 Spring, 2015 Spring
and 2016 Fall, impressive record.
At the end, Giovanni
Savarese comes loaded with a lot of illusions and looking forward to his new
challenge with his Portland Timbers, as he would like to make an instant impact,
build this squad character, and upgrade his levels of confidence for the best.
The question arises
if he would bring some of his notable players he had in the Cosmos, of the
likes of defenders, Carlos Mendes, Dejan Jakovic, Jimmy Muligan or Ayoze or the
likes of strikers Emmanuel Ledesma or Eugene Starikov?
Some of these players
were vital in his winning years back in New York.
Anyway, this is it, I
cannot wait for the new campaign to start and see the new man the helm of the
Portland Timbers, and how will they fare under the direction of Savarese in its
helm and a man that comes with a positive feedback from many experts of the
game.
His big test will
come on the road against the LA Galaxy and New York Red Bulls before coming
home and face at Providence Stadium the likes of the Minnesota United Loons.
Hail to the new era
in Rose City, looking forward to see in this 2018 for the Mighty PTFC!
