The Chosen Soehn

Only two years have passed and already Chivas USA is getting its fourth coach. That can't feel good for administration or the players. As pleased and proud as the team might have been to have its guide picked for the U.S. national team, having Bob Bradley leave couldn't have been easy.

Since Bradley has always coveted the USMNT job, he might have tried to soften the blow to Chivas by having an able replacement always in mind.

Eyebrows were raised when DC United assistant coach Tom Soehn pulled out of consideration for the coaching job at FC Dallas. The timing just followed after Bradley accepted the U.S. job. Now that Soehn is in talks with Chivas USA, it might be that Soehn was tipped off that he could have the inside track to Chivas if he gave up on FC Dallas.
