Former Canadian men's national team manager Stephen Hart joins us on Footy Prime to discuss the ongoing search for a new permanent head coach of the CanMNT, as Canada Soccer announced this week that they'll be taking on the Netherlands AND France in international friendlies in June ahead of the 2024 Copa America.
The two European powerhouses represent strong tests for Canada as they prepare to take on Argentina to open their CONMEBOL tournament campaign, but will interim boss Mauro Biello be in charge for this slate of tough fixtures, or does a new coach need to be installed in what could be a crucial window for 2026 FIFA World Cup planning and preparation, too?

A FANTASTIC episode and the discussion uncovers an uncomfortable truth about the lack of players holding each other accountable on the field for detecting what's happening in play
The footy prime crew should take credit for very honest assessments, and soccer in Canada needs that so badly
Too bad the interview cut short but what Hart was referring to was when Canada played Argentina in a friendly in May 2010 as a warm up to the World Cup. He was the coach and the reason why they were able to stop Messi was because Maradona didn’t play Messi. I was at the game and the people were yelling MESSI! to pressure them to put him on but alas no.
Steve hotboxing 💀💀
did the best with what he had...
For Me Herve Renard will be the best choice. after that Thomas Christiansen
STOP THE MADNESS with the agenda of a CAN CPL Manager should be promoted to MNGR of CANMNT. The fact is that Canada has missed out on a golden generation, we haven’t capitalized, and we have been awarded a World Cup which will not happen for at least another 30 yrs, as well as a Gold Cup.
The primary job description of a CANMNT MGR is to develop Canadian talent, put the team in the best position to win against opponents, and to recruit players to be part of the National team. @plattoli said “Canada needs a manager that knows and understands the Canadian system”& “it’s unlikely Canada will play friendlies against the likes of the French and the Dutch again for a long time”…and this belief is blasphemy. The facts are it is entirely possible if believed that Canada can regularly play against that level of competition. Another fact is that 1 in 10 Canadians have a minimum dual citizenship. So if you are Tomori, born in Calgary AB with dual citizenship to England, and Gareth Southgate calls you to recruit and play for England, and Biello or Smyrniotis or Wheeldon call to recruit you to play for Canada, you are likely to go play for England. The similar can be said for, Mitrovic, Kolyosho, Flores, Morris, Farsi, Jebbison. Now, if a CANMNT Manager with a globally recognized name and success, the likes of Mourinho, Potter, Solskjaer, Flick, Lopetegui, Conte, Low, or even the likes of Henry or Marsch, Lampard excluded…the CAN players above are having a completely different decision making process, and we are having a completely different conversation around the 1st team personnel of the CANMNT. These players have one shot at investing their National careers with a national team, with a Manager and program they can see an ROI. If you want to offer the position CANMNT Manager position to a CPL Manager, you will have a National team with CPL/MLS Players with perhaps a select few European players trickled in. If Canada wants keep their homegrown top level Canadian born/affiliated players who play internationally within the CAN system, it is going to take an International level Manager to keep them. @garethwheller said something interesting, “Herdman took Canada a long way to success so why can’t a CPL coach”, however, Herdman who was being considered for jobs in Europe, said himself it was his feeling he took the CANMNT as far as he believed he could, and it was time for a new challenge. Smyrniotis or Wheeldon are not being considered for positions in Europe, and not even being considered in MLS. Are we looking to move up? Or are we looking to keep the “status quo”. Canada should strive and aim higher. We are a soccer nation of miss management and missed opportunity, and it’s time to write the ship and there is no better time with the guarantee of a Copa America birth, as well as a 2026 World Cup Birth. And this is not a slight in anyway to Smyrniotis , Wheeldon, or Biello, as they would make tremendously valuable assistant CANMNT coaches, but at this time, their calling is not the CEO and leader of the CANMNT.
I have to disagree slightly with Stephen Hart and panel, I believe that if Canada wants to truly be committed and succeed, a name brand manager should be brought in. We have players being coached by highly respected individuals, the likes of Thomas Tuchel, Simone Inzaghi, Paulo Fonseca, Sergio Conceicao, Javier Aguirre, etc…. Canada needs a Canadian Manager/Coach that holds a name and carries the same respect so that when players come from club to country, the level of respect is equal or elevated.
who do you suggest?
@@jonnierev Mourinho, Potter, Solskjaer, Flick, Lopetegui, Conte, Low, or even the likes of Henry or Marsch, Lampard. Canada should be recruiting them all. The Canadian Coach does not need to be Canadian…this isn’t hockey.
Canada has immense soccer talent playing all over Europe and the world that most Canadian soccer fans have never heard of, and as 1 in 10 Canadians have dual citizenship, they go to Europe or non-Canadian clubs right away. Any of the managers above will make Canada a competitive case against other European nations, asking our Canadian players to play for them. Example, if you are Tomori at AC Milan, born in Calgary AB with dual citizenship to England, and Gareth Southgate calls you to recruit and play for England, and Biello or Smyrniotis or Wheeldon call to recruit you to play for Canada, you are highly likely to go play for England. Ask any player, they want to play for the best, and against the best…The most tragic thing about Tomori (and others) is he will likely never play a competitive tournament for England as their defensive backline is stacked for the next decade. The similar can be said for Mitrovic, Kolyosho, Flores, Morris, Farsi, Jebbison. NOW, if a CANMNT Manager with a globally recognized name and success, the likes of anyone from Morinho to Marsch…the CAN players above are having a completely different decision making process, and we are having a completely different conversation around the 1st team personnel of the CANMNT. These players have one shot at investing their National careers with a national team, with a Manager and program they can see an ROI. If you want to offer the position CANMNT Manager position to a CPL Manager, you will have a CANMNT team with CPL/MLS Players with perhaps a select few European players trickled in who came from that system (Davies).
Canada has a Copa America and World Cup guarantee, the time for this move is now, and help show Canadian soccer players who have already chosen a different Nation what they have missed out on, and show the ones who haven’t yet committed, that this is their best opportunity to play in World top level tournaments against the best players in the world!
