Arena, 73, will take over a San Jose side that went through a brutal 2024 campaign, finishing dead last in the league with just 21 points from 34 games and a record of 6-25-3. San Jose also set a dubious MLS record by conceding 78 goals. This reflects the urgent and extensive rebuild needed for the team, which started poorly under Luchi Gonzalez before revealing the need for better direction.
"I think there's potential there to develop the club into a team that can certainly be better than they've demonstrated over the last couple of years," Arena said. His optimism is built on the commitment shown by owner John Fisher and the front office to improve the franchise and attract a strong performance in the future.
