San Jose announces GM

John Doyle was named the new General Manager of the new San Jose Earthquakes. As I'm sure you remember from the early 1990's John is a retired U.S. soccer defender who played professionally in both the U.S. and Europe. He earned fifty-three caps with the U.S. national team between 1987 and 1994 including three games with the U.S. team at the 1988 Summer Olympics.

Since his playing days John has worked as TV and radio color commentator for the Earthquakes. In 2004 he was hired as assistant coach for the Quakes, replacing Dominic Kinnear who was promoted as head coach after Frank Yallop's departure to coach the Canadian national team. He stayed on with the Quakes until the franchise was relocated to Houston for the 2006 season.
