Florian Jungwirth has settled into a reliable presence in the San Jose Earthquakes lineup over the past four seasons, and he solidified his hold on a starting center back spot in 2020.
Much like the 2019 season, the German’s spot was not assured to kick off the campaign, with Matias Almeyda looking elsewhere to fill the position, in 2020 with newcomer Oswaldo Alanís alongside returning vet Guram Kashia.
But after playing just 27 minutes off the bench in the first four games of the season, Jungwirth was brought back in, and he was a fixture the rest of the season.
