Of all the people involved with Chivas USA, undoubtedly one of the most important is Dennis te Kloese. To say this guy has a football mind is like saying Bill Gates is rich. With Chivas Guadalajara, te Kloese was the chief scout and under his watch brought in guys like Carlos Salcido and Omar Bravo.
It's really a coup to have him aboard because he is of the mindset that scouting young players will lead to great things in the future. He was the impetus behind Chivas USA's youth development system, which was put into place in 2005. He helped the club's Under-19 side get off the ground before MLS required an organized youth system. He outlasted fellow Hollanders Hans Westerhof and Thomas Rongen at Chivas USA.
In one, he's with Antonio Cue. In the other, he's with the club's Under-19 coach, Sacha van der Most.
