The drumbeats grow louder with each passing week. Alessandro Nesta’s managing career is about to accelerate. It appears that the Miami FC manager is destined to take control of the MLS’s Montreal Impact this winter.

 

Miami FC will begin their quest to win the NASL Championship on Sunday as they take on the two-time defending champion New York Cosmos in the opening round of the playoffs. Miami is heavily favored to win the American second-division tournament, as Nesta’s pupils dominated the regular season.

 

Now, it appears his success is on the precipice of paying off. Whether Miami FC win the championship or bow out of the playoffs early, Nesta appears to have his ticket booked to MLS.

 

The Montreal Impact are still without a manager after relieving Mauro Biello of his duties following a disappointing season that saw them miss the playoffs. Now, it appears the position will remain open until the Italian legend, who once patrolled Montreal’s backline, is ready to join.
