Bruce Arena's return to head coaching in Major League Soccer is hardly a revolutionary development, but the former Galaxy coach just couldn't stay away, writes columnist kbaxter11.
Instead, the lifelong New York Yankee fan wound up in New England, in the shadow of Fenway Park. And it looks to be a perfect fit.
The situation he’s stepping into in New England is eerily similar: a once-proud franchise with a deep-pocketed owner and five MLS Cup appearances on its resume stuck in reverse. And once again Arena is convinced he can change gears.“It’s not going to happen in the next two weeks. But I’m confident over the next couple of years that we can make very good progress and make this team much more competitive,” Arena said. “Everything will be here to be successful.”.
It’s unlikely Arena would have accepted anything less. Robert Kraft, owner of both the Revolution and the New England Patriots, made Bill Belichick the coach and GM of his football team in 2000 and he’s won six Super Bowls since then.
