There are good things for Pellegrino Materazzo.

Pellegrino is hardened in the way that he's had these relegation battles before.

This is a breath of fresh air, a breath of life for him to have an actual club where he can do something of worth.

I do think the player personnel at the moment is enough to get them out of 15th place, out of the danger zone, and he will be fine.

He will make his mark.

This is an important moment in American football.

When you look at CONCACAF, when you look at North American football, there aren't a lot of good managers.

There aren't a lot of recognizable figures in management.

He's not recognizable in his own country.

He's recognizable in the Bundesliga, in Germany, and now he will be known everywhere in that region where Sociedad is.

and in La Liga.

It's an opportunity for him to stake his claim, make his mark in America, in North America, to prove that if there ever is a coaching vacancy, and I'm talking national team, he could say, hey, if we're talking Americans, who has my pedigree?

Because there are not a whole hell of a lot of coaches who have done what Pelegrino Matarazzo has done.

I'm seeing a lot of backlash from the MLS community on social media about

what happened and what this means for them.

And I'll get into that in a second.

But welcome to world football.

It's 33 days.

It's eight games.

A team like Celtic, I don't think, lost more than four games last year.
