Gonzalo Segares has been named the new head coach of the U-17 Men’s National Team, U.S. Soccer announced Monday. Segares, a Costa Rican left back, played over 250 games for the Chicago Fire in MLS from 2005 to 2014. He also amassed 19 caps for Costa Rica during that time. Segares retired from play following the 2014 MLS season, and immediately joined Chicago’s technical staff as an academy coach. His time with the Fire academy didn’t last long, as he moved to fellow Chicago academy FC United in 2016. He would stay with FC United until January 2020, when he was hired as the US U-15 BNT head coach.
