The San Jose Earthquakes have named Jesse Fioranelli their general manager, the MLS side announced Thursday.
Fioranelli reportedly beat out four other candidates for the job — U.S. under-20 coach Tab Ramos, former Sunderland director Lee Congerton, Mexico Football Federation director of youth national teams Dennis te Kloese, and Earthquakes technical director Chris Leitch.
“We are excited to welcome Jesse to the Quakes family,” Earthquakes president Dave Kaval said in a press release. “He has a tremendous, well-rounded resume that immediately impressed us and we believe the team’s technical side is in excellent hands moving forward.
