Bruce Arena Takes Helm at San Jose Earthquakes Amid Past Controversy

Arena acknowledges previous missteps and aims to revitalize the struggling MLS team with new resources and commitment.

Bruce Arena, a decorated MLS coach, joins San Jose Earthquakes as head coach and sporting director after leaving New England Revolution due to controversy.
Arena accepted responsibility for making 'insensitive remarks' that led to his departure from New England and expressed his intention to move forward.
The Earthquakes ended last season at the bottom of the league, presenting Arena with a significant challenge to improve the team's performance.
Arena emphasized the commitment from Quakes' owner John Fisher to provide resources for building a competitive team, including new facilities and potential player acquisitions.
Despite past issues, Arena is optimistic about creating a team that the San Jose community and fan base can be proud of, though he makes no promises of immediate championship success.
