Bruce Arena became the winningest coach in MLS history on Saturday night when the New England Revolution defeated FC Dallas 1-0. In true Arena fashion, he didn’t speak much about himself in the post-game press conference.
Arena’s 241 regular-season wins are one better than Sigi Schmid’s total. The two men crossed paths regularly throughout their storied careers. There were times when they were colleagues and times when they were opponents. At one point Schmid was a neighbor of Arena’s son, Kenny.
Arena took a moment to speak about the man with whom he shared a few adult beverages.
