cerud Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 17 October 2016 Brazilian Interest in Cerud Grows Following the resignation of longtime manager Enderson Moreira from Goiás, speculation has once again moved to Vancouver manger Cerud as the leading candidate. With Cerud's current contract ending in just over two months, it is likely that interest will continue to grow the longer the Board from the Whitecaps hold out on negotiations with their manager. 22 October 2016 Brazilian Interest in Cerud Grows With the interest newly shown from Goiás, rivals Independência have also spoken publically about the Canadian manager after the resignation of Ricardinho. Cerud, for his part, has remained silent on the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerud Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 2016-2017 CONCACAF Champions League 19 October 2016 Group C Vancouver Whitecaps 1 -1 CD Guadalajara (Chivas) A fairly even match. We were expected to lose to a stronger Mexican side; however, we ended up going ahead in the 28th minute. Chivas tied it up before the half and the rest of the match ended up being a fairly nervy affair, more based on defense than attack. Group Stages So, with the end of the group stages, we finish on top. Interestingly, New York used the tie we just had against Chivas to jump over the Mexican club and into the 2nd qualifying spot.

cerud Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 October 2016 Update Vancouver Whitecaps FC - Major League Soccer The League I knew that a good showing this month could guarantee us the Supporter's Shield so we went in with a mind to win. While Chivas USA gave us a bit of a scare, our next 3 matches all went our way. A great win against our rivals Toronto FC also brought our desire for silverware up as well. CONCACAF Champions League We finished our group stage with a tie against Chivas. The Standings Managerial Thoughts The playoffs have now been decided. As for wild card spots, 3 went to our conference with only 1 to the Eastern Conference. Guess that just highlights how much stronger the west is in the league. It was also nice to see all of the Cascadia clubs (Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland) in the playoffs. Should make things more interesting for us as we have a chance to play some rival clubs to us.

This marks their first even Supporter's Shield. The season has been a grand resurgence for the Whitecaps after wallowing in the lower half of the table only one year ago. Speaking to media during the presentation, Whitecaps manager Cerud had a few words. "The Supporter's Shield is a great achievement for any club. The players have to be commended in their efforts. However, we are not finished as the playoffs will begin in a week for us. Our goal is to win the league and this trohpy, while nice, is only a stepping stone to what we want to achieve."

cerud Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 2016 Season In Review Vancouver Whitecaps FC - Major League Soccer 1st Place - Runners Up in MLS Cup The League Standings - League | Conference Past Positions - League | Conference Fixtures - Our regular season was pretty special. We were able to use our early and mid-season dominance to help us through the leaner times towards the end. The schedule gets insanely busy towards the end. I was playing matches with only one or two day breaks in between. I would have at least half on my starting line in need of rest. Thankfully, I was able to rely on some key youth prospects who stepped up and played brilliantly. There's a couple for sure that will be in contention for a starting position in the new season already. However, the pace of the season took it's toll. Injuries piled up and this led into the playoffs. The Playoffs MLS Western Conference Semi Final Leg 1 Portland Timbers 1 - 5 Vancouver Whitecaps FC The first match for us was in the semi finals as our league position gave us a berth higher than others. We were up against our rivals from Portland, a club that we had handled with ease in the regular season. The playoffs were not different. 5 goals from five different goalscorers. MLS Western Conference Semi Final Leg 2 Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 - 0 Portland Timbers Vancouver Whitecaps FC win on aggregate 7-1 A home conservative affair at home. We led by 2 going into the half and then sat back. By this time the match was done anyways. Vancouver Whitecaps FC 0 - 1 New York Red Bulls Heartbreak. In the 3rd minute, New York injured my top goalscorer and he had to leave. I was also reduced to 10 men in the 88th minute as all substitutions had been used and we were given yet another injury. Then, just when I figured time was to run out and I would have to find a way to win in extra time, New York made a break towards the 6 yard box. My defender, Williams, tackled the ball away, denying them the shot, but as my goalkeeper came out to play it, the tackle sent the ball past him and slowly creeping into the net. It was agonizingly slow to watch as there was nothing we could do. New York took the MLS Cup and the league title in extra time. However, it you look at the match stats, you can see that they dominated this match. It hurts to say, but the better team on the day won. The Cups Nutrilite Canadian Championship - This competition saw us take on the Montreal Impact and Toronto FC. It was only that we were expected to win and, as such, gave us the single Canadian spot in the CONCACAF Champions League. CONCACAF Champions League - So far, only the group stages have been completed. The draw for the Quarter Finals comes in mid-December with matches beginning in late February on the following year. We will have to wait until then to see who we face. The Stats Goals Scored - 97 (1st in league) Goals Conceded - 41 (4th in league) Average Attendance - 20 399 (5th in league) The Players Squad | Transfers - Quite a few changes in the squad, but that's typical of the MLS, given the manner in which trades occur for draft picks and such. As for our top players, there's a lot to choose from, but these 3 stood out. Robbie Rajkovic - D C - Rajkovic was a rookie prospect that I found with FC Edmonton. I signed him and he responded immediately to training and mentoring. He also won a position in the rotation for centreback with two others. However, knee tendonitis at the end of the season cut him short as he will be out for 6 months. Lee Nguyen - M R, AM RC - League leader in assists. I didn't think much of this player when I came to Vancouver. However, his speed and ability made him a staple and our main attacking force on the right. Marinho - M/AM LC, ST - Second in scoring in the league. Unfortunately, we lose Marinho as he has signed on with Goiás FC in Brazil. I just couldn't afford the 400% wage raise he was demanding. The Backroom Finances - The pocketbook took a hit as our planned stadium expansion has begun. Facilities - The expansion will add over 5 000 seats and will be done right on time for the beginning of the upcoming season. Unfortunately, some of our Champions League matches will be played during the construction phase, but we need the additional seats in the long run. The Awards USA Player of the Year - Jorge Villafaña - 2nd Place, Alejandro Bedoya - 3rd Place Volkswagen Most Valuable Player - Marinho - 3rd Place MLS Golden Boot - Marinho - 2nd Place MLS Individual Fair Play Award - Sheanon Williams - 1st Place MLS Goalkeeper of the Year - Niclas Heimann - 2nd Place VISA Defender of the Year - Nelson Rivas - 1st Place MLS Coach of the Year - Cerud - 1st Place MLS Best XI - Nelson Rivas (D C), Alejandro Bedoya (M C) Fans' Player of the Year - Nelson Rivas The Goals Revisited Draft well - Achieved. Several draft players had significant roles. Make the playoffs - Achieved, although I was hoping for more. Win the Canadian Championship - Achieved. Plans for Next Season I have just signed a two year contract for $500 000/year. My goal is to win the MLS Cup before I go. I'd also like to continue our exploits in the CONCACAF Champions League. But right now, the domestic league is a priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerud Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 21 December 2016 Brazilian Interest in Cerud Grows Vancouver manager Cerud has begun to be linked to several jobs in Europe, from Spain to England. However, it is Belgium side AA Gent that has shown the most interest as Cerud has become their number one candidate to take over the position previously held by Glen De Boeck. Cerud was away on holidays and unavailable for comment. 23 December 2016 Brazilian Interest in Cerud Grows Following the retiring of Teitur Thordarson, New England is looking for a new head coach. Perenial managerial candidate Cerud has been put forth as a potenital frontrunner. It is unlikely that Cerud would leave the Whitecaps for the Revolution, especially given that the two clubs will meet up in late February in the Quarter Final stage of the CONCACAF Champions League.

Current Vancouver Whitecaps manager Cerud has been hired to break the nation into the World Cup in Russia next year. While the African nation has never won football's top prize, they are a common fixture in its hunt. Interestingly, Cerud has decided to retain his domestic club duties while taking on the newe position. In a news conference earlier today, he stated, "I know that many feel that split duties is too much for a manager. However, we continually ask of our players to be game ready in domestic league, domestic cups, continental Champions Leagues, as well as their own international commitments. I believe that I am capable of the same." Nigeria National Football Team - Nigeria Football Association The decision to take the Nigerian job was a complete surprise. I wasn't expecting to be asked, never applied, and didn't know it was even available. However, the 2018 World Cup is a year away and this may be my chance to get in. The CAF World Cup Qualifiers are happening right now, so that will be my first concern.

Not sure where New England went. It was a great away match. Both of our new strikers scored on their debuts, including a hattrick for Orlando Gaono Lugo, our new DP player. It looked as though the Revolution were going to give us a good match, but once the first goal went in for us, they just quit. 1 March 2017 Quarter Final Leg 2 Vancouver Whitecaps FC 5 - 0 New England Revolution Whitecaps win 11-0 on aggregate I started a few of our youth prospects in this match and they didn't disappoint. Darren Mattocks, in his debut return in a Whitecaps jersey, scored 2 goals as we took the round in a commanding fashion. So, the draw for the Semi Final is next. Here's the next round.

On the ensuing penalty shot, Bianco went top right corner, but our goalkeepr Heimann made a brilliant save!
