Ranking the worst signings in MLS history: Lothar Matthaus, Federico Bernardeschi and Mexico star make list

Ranking the worst signings in MLS history: Lothar Matthaus, Federico Bernardeschi and Mexico star make list

Matthaus arrived with high expectations as a World Cup winner and one of the most famous German footballers of all time. However, he quickly became a symbol of all that could go wrong with a marquee signing in MLS. His stint was marred by injuries, poor performances, and controversy. Matthaus only appeared in 16 games for the MetroStars, failing to make the impact that was expected of him. His tenure in MLS was a disaster, with rumors of conflicts with teammates and coaching staff swirling around him.

Despite his legendary status in world football, Matthaus’ time in MLS is remembered as a cautionary tale about the risks of signing aging stars past their prime. The MetroStars ultimately parted ways with him after just seven months, marking one of the shortest and least successful designated player tenures in league history.

In conclusion, while Federico Bernardeschi and Lorenzo Insigne may not reach the depths of infamy occupied by the likes of Blaise Matuidi, Rais M’Bolhi, Rafael Marquez, and Lothar Matthaus, their failed MLS stints serve as a reminder that high-profile signings do not always guarantee success. The duo’s departure from Toronto FC closes a chapter on a disappointing era for the club, leaving behind a legacy of unfulfilled potential and missed opportunities. As MLS continues to attract international talent, clubs must tread carefully when investing in marquee players to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. During his 16-game stint, he did not make much of an impact on the team. However, the most memorable moment of his short time with the club was when he decided to take a vacation to St. Tropez instead of focusing on recovering from a back injury. This decision raised eyebrows and left many questioning his commitment to the team.

Shortly after his vacation, he made the surprising announcement of his retirement. It seemed like he had managed to compile a list of the opposite of a designated player’s greatest hits in a remarkably short amount of time. His lack of contribution on the field combined with his questionable off-field decisions left fans and management disappointed.

The incident served as a cautionary tale for players who prioritize personal interests over their professional responsibilities. It highlighted the importance of dedication, discipline, and loyalty in the world of professional sports. While his time with the team may have been forgettable, his actions left a lasting impression on those who witnessed his brief and tumultuous spell.
