Jason Kreis has coached an MLS team for just 10 of the 31 most recent months of his life after leaving Real Salt Lake at the end of 2013, taking the following year “off” ahead of New York City FC’s MLS debut in 2015, only to be fired after one season.
You couldn’t blame the 43-year-old if he were really itching to get back into the game. Now, Kreis won’t jump at just any job — sorry, Houston Dynamo, he’s going to ignore your calls if you try — but he’s also, according to a report from FourFourTwo USA, not about to sit around and wait for the Seattle Sounders to fire Sigi Schmid in order to reunite with Garth Lagerwey (that’s purely speculation, and a bit of logic).
According to the report, Kreis is in “advanced discussions” to fill Orlando City SC’s head-coaching vacancy following the dismissal of Adrian Heath, the only head coach in the team’s history (USL and MLS), less than two weeks ago.
Kreis is inarguably the marquee name as far as unemployed MLS head coaches go, meaning he’s likely to have his pick of available jobs as the 2016 season winds down and another offseason approaches. With the Sounders currently floundering in ninth place in the Western Conference, Schmid’s seat grows hotter and hotter with each passing defeat (the latest on Sunday, to the rival Portland Timbers).
Considering the Sounders’ willingness to spend big money for big names, plus perhaps the largest fanbase in MLS, the Emerald City job seems, on paper at least, the most attractive gig likely to come open ahead of the 2017 season. If Kreis is scooped up from the unemployment line now, ahead of the Sounders’ own timeline for improvement or Schmid’s removal, it’ll be an opportunity missed to snag one of the brightest young minds in American soccer.
With nine teams currently separated by four points, from 20th to 12th places, the 2022-23 Premier League relegation scrap is not only set to last until the final day, but the final two months of the season are sure to be one of the wildest roller-coaster rides of all time.
Three clubs will be relegated from the Premier League (and replaced by three teams from the EFL Championship, of course) at season’s end. Never before have this many clubs been this close to the bottom-three, and the bottom of the table, at this point of a season.

Who’s looking like title contenders and/or favorites?
As we head into the final months of the 2022-23 season, Arsenal and Manchester City are looking head and shoulders above the rest and although Manchester United briefly surged into the picture, they look more likely to cement their spot as the third best team in the Premier League.
The Gunners will have their hands full for the duration of their title challenge, as Erling Haaland continues to take the Premier League by storm with an almost impossible goal-scoring record.
What about the top four and European places?
Uneven Tottenham are hanging in the top four battle and for the moment have hunted down Newcastle, while Liverpool is back in the Champions League picture after their return to form and Chelsea looks like a top six finish is their ceiling. For now.
Surprising Fulham, Brentford, and Brighton are all hanging around on the periphery with fine campaigns. Can one of them surprise and qualify for Europe?
Who are the candidates for relegation?
Southampton, West Ham, and Bournemouth currently occupy the relegation places but that keeps changing all the time and it is so tight at the bottom of the table.
Nottingham Forest, Leicester City, Wolves, Leeds, Everton and Crystal Palace all find themselves within a few points of the bottom three as the race to stay in the Premier League intensifies. This could be the craziest relegation scrap in Premier League history.
Below you will find the latest Premier League table.
The Premier League relegation scrap needs some serious paring down, as a remarkably-high nine teams sit within four points of 20th place on the 2022-23 Premier League table.
That means we’re set, at least for now, for more relegation six-pointers than at any time in recent memory — many of them, you’ll see below, will involve Bournemouth — and the odds are in favor of a relatively surprising team heading down to the Championship.
As for now Everton, Leeds, and Saints are the form teams in the fight, while Leicester and Crystal Palace sure could use a win.
Will the Premier League’s current bottom three of Bournemouth, West Ham and Southampton still be there when the season ends?
Below you’ll see the latest standings, the fixtures for the teams still in danger of dropping into the second tier, relegation odds, and our prediction for who will collect how many points.
Leicester City: Palace (A), Villa (H), Bournemouth (H), Man City (A), Wolves (H), Leeds (A), Everton (H), Fulham (A), Liverpool (H), Newcastle (A), West Ham (H)
West Ham: Southampton (H), Newcastle (H), Fulham (A), Arsenal (H), Bournemouth (A), Liverpool (H), Palace (A), Man Utd (H), Brentford (A), Leeds (H), Leicester (A)
