CARSON, Calif. – Sigi Schmid added an important piece to the LA Galaxy’s new foundation on Tuesday with the hiring of MLS coaching legend Dominic Kinnear as his top assistant.
The third-winningest head coach in league history behind Schmid and Bruce Arena, Kinnear joins the Galaxy after stints with the San Jose Earthquakes and the Houston Dynamo. The 50-year-old manager brings a wealth of experience, winning two MLS Cups with the Houston Dynamo in 2006 and 2007 while leading his teams to four conference titles.
After being hired by the Galaxy in late July, Schmid immediately sought out his longtime rival and was elastic that he decided to join the staff.
