Over 20 years after making his breakout MLS debut, Landon Donovan has emerged as a finalist to take over as manager of the Earthquakes, his home for his first four seasons stateside.
Donovan, 40, is among the five candidates who have made it to the final phase of the Quakes’ interview process, according to a report from ESPN. The club is also reportedly considering members of its existing coaching staff for the position; to date, San Jose has interviewed over 10 people during the process.
The Earthquakes have been searching for a new manager since parting ways with Matías Almeyda on April 18 after five years.
