Bruce Arena has coached nearly 600 MLS matches with five teams and currently leads San Jose. In his first season, Arena has brought the Earthquakes to ninth place in the Western Conference, vying for playoff contention. Mikey Varas has successfully led San Diego to the top of the standings in his first permanent manager role. Varas anticipates a challenging match against San Jose, citing their experience and attacking threats. The Earthquakes recently broke a winless streak with a notable victory over Vancouver Whitecaps.
Arena has overseen almost 600 MLS matches in his coaching career with five different teams, with his latest venture seeing him take over San Jose last November.
It's quite a mature team with a legend of a coach who has got them moving in a good direction, and they also have a front three who are very dangerous in transition.
San Jose, meanwhile, ended their six-game stretch without a victory with a stunning 2-1 triumph over Western Conference high-flyers Vancouver Whitecaps last time out.
Varas is expecting a tough test for his players, given the fact they have experience both on and off the pitch.
