The San Diego Loyal are in third place in the 14-team Western Conference with 34 points from 19 matches played, and are managed by a man who has been with the team for three years. The co-owner and executive VP of soccer operations is also the manager of the team.
The Real Salt Lake job eventually went to his former U.S. international teammate, Pablo Mastroeni, despite the fact that he was one of several names linked with the position. Other MLS jobs have been pursued by the player.
The person didn't reply to the message. A Quakes spokesman wouldn't comment.
His record with the Loyal is 30-23-15. They lost to San Antonio FC in the first round of the playoffs. Along the way, he has forged a reputation as a fierce defender of his players, including an incident in 2020 when he pulled his team off the field after a player used a gay slur.
If he got the San Jose job, he would return to the organization where he won two MLS Cups. After returning to the club that signed him as a teenager, and later loaning him to the Quakes, he sensationally went back to MLS with the LA GALAXY, angering the fans of San Jose.
He won four more MLS Cups with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In addition to the Earthquakes, the Galaxy, and the other MLS teams, the man also played with Club Leon, as well as loan spells with the likes of FC Barcelona and Wigan Athletic.
