The Official Benjamín Galindo thread

Welcome! Good experience including head coaching.

 

Exactly!

 

He was a great player!

 

If Matias leaves he will be taking all of his assistants with, just as he did in coming here.

 

Not necessarily. What if he would rather be the head coach of the Quakes?

 

Has this become the de facto "Fire Matias" thread before he's even coached a game?

 

Not necessarily, and that might be a condition of his escape clause. "You have to leave one of your assistants behind so that we can keep on playing the same way."

Or maybe we insisted on putting an assistant on his staff who will stay with us should he leave. We'd be foolish not to implement some plan whereby, should Almeyda leave, we get to keep one of the assistant coaches to maintain continuity.

Go Quakes!!

No, it's more like the "Official We Really Hope that Matías Stay, But If He Bails On Us ..." thread.

Go Quakes!!
Stay Matías!!

- Mark

 

Now that's my speed... someone create that thread!

 

If we had to make an educated guess...

“I’m very happy because I won’t go anywhere without them. I would never go to a new team alone or with just one or two of them. This is not my job alone. My job will always be with them.”
--Matias Almeyda

Sure "not necessarily" but in terms of probabilities, do you really think Benjamin Galindo would rather be the head coach of the Quakes than (since we already know the details of Almeyda's release clause) assistant coach of the Mexican or Argentinian national teams? Dude has 65 caps for El Tri and has been coaching throughout Mexico for the last two decades. Argentina is Argentina.

 

Maybe if we sign Benjamin Galindo Jr

 

Galindo explains how he and Almeyda joined the Quakes. In Spanish but select the english cc to have it auto translated. Translation is a little rough though.

 

Well, hopefully whatever he and Vega have is teachable, because Vega has been a stud.

 

Galindo spoke very well about the league. He said the language barrier isn’t really an obstacle which is goof but from what I gathered it could be an issue because the translator has to transmit what they say. He said many of the players speak Spanish and that he and Almeyda are taking intense English classes.

 

Say what?

 

Get with it, Don, all the kids are saying goof these days. That's totally goof!

 

Galindo spoke very well about the league. He said the language barrier isn’t really an obstacle which is good …..

 

Just goofing with you.

That sounds bad. I wonder if it was a stroke brought on by covid-19 blood clotting.
