MLS: New England Revolution coach Bruce Arena on leave amid ‘inappropriate remarks’ probe
The HinduNew England Revolution sporting director and head coach Bruce Arena has been placed on administrative league as Major League Soccer reviews “allegations that he made insensitive and inappropriate remarks.” The league offered no further information in a brief statement on Tuesday when the Revolution offered a similarly terse statement of their own. Arena has coached four MLS teams -- DC United, the New York Red Bulls, the Los Angeles Galaxy and the Revolution and won MLS Cup titles in 1996 and 1997 with United and in 2011, 2012 and 2014 with the Galaxy. His teams have also won the Supporters’ Shield as the top of the overall standings four times and last season Arena became the winningest coach in MLS history and the first to 250 career victories. The Athletic reported Tuesday that Arena was not present at team activities on Sunday and Monday and that technical director Curt Onalfo and assistant coach Richie Williams are expected to take over during the investigation.
