Episode 420 – The AFTN Soccer Show (A Sense Of Direction with guests Axel Schuster and Olivier Renard)
The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out for another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps and Major League Soccer chat.
The league season may be over for the three Canadian MLS sides but the busy work is really just now getting underway and we chat about what’s been an eventful week in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, hearing from two Sporting Directors along the way.
First up is our Whitecaps chat as we look at the roster moves announced this week, then sit down for a one-on-one chat with Sporting Director and CEO Axel Schuster as we look back on his first year in the job, what lies ahead, building a winning team for next season, and a lot more.
Turning our attention east next, we look at the roster moves announced by both Toronto and Montreal, Greg Vanney stepping down as TFC head coach, the rebranding of the Impact, and we hear from Montreal Sporting Director Olivier Renard about his plans for the strengthening the team next season amongst all the uncertainty.
