The first of what appears to be several open coaching spots will go to a former Seattle Sounders player, Gonzalo Pineda. With Ante Razov leaving for LA Galaxy and Brian Schmetzer moving from First Assistant to Head Coach the staff should have at least a couple openings. Currently Djimi Traore and Tommy Dutra are the only first-team assistant coaches. S2 only has head coach Ezra Hendrickson. Kurt Schmid is listed as Head Scout. Dave Tenney heads the fitness and sports science department with Chad Kolarcik in support.
It was former Sounder Herculez Gomez who broke the news about Pineda.
