Major League Soccer 2017 Campaign- Can the Quakes return to its winning ways?



Avaya Stadium will vibrate this campaign with its Earthquakes, after a failed finish last campaign and not seizing a spot into the Western Conference Postseason.
 
This 2017 will be one that the Silicon Valley Boys who will put on a display a tough and resilient football towards any of its foes in both conferences and try their best to erase that negative streak of not making it into the postseason.

Still for Manager Dominik Kinnear going into his second year at the helm of the Quakes, by far he has seen many improvements and being excited of this 2017 campaign after a series of moves in the Quakes front office and the arrival of new players.

Among one of those moves was the arrival of a new General Manager to lead the restructuring of this squad into an all-around contender in this and many other campaigns to come, with former AS Roma technical staff specialist.

The San Jose squad will have a great right man to lead and build a competitor with their new GM Jesse Fioranelli who comes with an impressive CV under his sleeves after overseeing player development and scouting in Seria A squads.

With SS Lazio and AS Roma from Italy’s Calcio, this man who knows it, will bring his expertise and wisdom in order to build a top of the line academy for the Quakes that will contribute to this squad future promises.

As one of his first order of the day was to assemble top of the line players in order to compete and assure last campaign ones in order to start the San Jose transformations into one of the most competitive squads of MLS.

Another major goal for GM Fioranelli will be the full development of the Quakes Academy prospects to become a part of this club as well be producer top notch talent to sell to other clubs in MLS and abroad.

The arrival of a top class Coach to assist Manager Kinnear in his tasks was former Portland Timbers Boss John Spencer who with no doubt will contribute with his knowledge of the game in large quantities for the best of the San Jose squad.

 Another plus for this squad was the arrival of new blood and in its majority from several European squads and with plenty of experience that will contribute to this club success in this campaign.

With the arrival of Albanian midfielder Jahmir Hyka from FC Luzern, forward Dutch Danny Hoesen- FC Groningen, defender and midfielder German Florian Jungwirth- SV Darmstad 98, Forward in Costa Rican Marcos UreƱa-Brondy LF, and Defender from Panama Harold Cummings-LD Alajuelense.  

So far the Quakes with the return of many of its starters and newcomer midfielder Jason Yveill and keeper Andrew Tarbell from Generation Adidas and homegrown players in Tommy Thompson and Nick Lima.

Shows off the San Jose squad commitment to their youth and its development in already netting a spot in the big club and now the rest is up to them to impress their Boss Dominick Kinnear in getting a starting position in this campaign.

To conclude this campaign, the San Jose Earthquakes top Brass did not hesitated to make major changes from Gm, Assistant Manager and new players, seeing a proof of this club commitment to distinction.

Very well, make this club returns to its lost grandeur and this 2017 will be the year to start this revolution for this Silicon Valley based squad, if everything falls as expected this squad can net the last spot in the Western Conference postseason.
