On Saturday, Ronny Deila’s club lost 0-2. The next day, he was in the stands when two leaves Deila helped win the European Championship gold in handball in Vienna. On Wednesday, the energetic coach is out of work. A few hours later, a possible return to MLS is announced.
“All” New York remembers the energetic Norwegian who did bare-chested push-ups after leading New York City FC to victory in the MLS Cup in 2021. Pep Guardiola saw what Manchester City’s sister club achieved with Deila at the helm, and said he was mightily impressed.
At Atlanta United, Deila’s immediate availability after being sacked on Wednesday is being received with great enthusiasm. Deila left MLS as the big winner.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Deila is now a strong candidate for the vacant coaching job that will be filled in the coming weeks.
We are more than happy to take another round with Deila in MLS.
