San Jose Earthquakes have signed former US national team coach Bruce Arena to a new deal that runs through the 2028-29 MLS season. The move cements his place after a dramatic turn around last year, when the club rallied to a 10‑3‑2 record and a top spot in the Western Conference for this season success.

Under Arena, the Quakes exploded off the field, winning nine of ten games to open the campaign – the best start in franchise history. Their current tally could match last season’s regular‑season total with just one win left, while five more would eclipse the club’s 2012 Supporters’ Shield record in this season today again hard work.

Managing partner John Fisher praised Arena’s rebuild, noting the coach has assembled a young core that is already playoff‑ready and positioned for long‑term success. He added that the fan base has welcomed him warmly, fueling a culture that supports sustained growth and competitive ambition across the league in 2026 and beyond for the team today.

Arena, who guided the US to two World Cups and five MLS Cups, expressed enthusiasm for the future. “I have enjoyed my time here in San Jose, and I am excited to continue to see this team improve and compete at the highest level in MLS,” he said, underscoring his commitment to the club’s upward trajectory today.
