Amado Guevara's tumultuous career in Major League Soccer is over.
The Honduran playmaker, who Chivas USA unsuccessfully attempted to trade to Toronto FC last week after growing tired of his poor form and attitude, is heading back to Honduras. According to sources, Chivas USA and MLS officials are working on selling Guevara to an unidentified club in Honduras. If a suitable transfer offer isn't found, MLS could still potentially give Guevara his outright release.
Chivas USA had a deal in place to send Guevara to Toronto FC for midfielder Paulo Nagamura and a draft pick but Guevara balked at the deal and stated that he would not report to Toronto. Guevara subsequently rejected chances to be dealt to Colorado, FC Dallas and Columbus, which all expressed interest in the disgruntled playmaker.
Signed by the MetroStars in 2003 from Honduran club CD Motagua, Guevara enjoyed three solid seasons with the MetroStars before struggling through a disappointing 2006 with the Red Bulls. He recorded 32 goals and 36 assists with the MetroStars and Red Bulls, enjoying his best campaign in 2004, when he won MLS MVP honors.
With the Honduran season already over, Guevara will remain out of action until he joins the Honduran national team for its preparations for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in June. He turned 31 on Wednesday.
