Re: Salvadoran coaches (past to present) and (home and abroad) I though carlos coreas was the coach of vista hermosa, coreas used to coach limeno too. currently we do no have any salvadoran coach abroad i believe. rumors were that cienfuegos had offers from mexican soccer but he decided to go to nejapa a few years ago. now i guess he is just taking care of his business. i heard of a few salvadoran coaches in community colleges in los angeles, but im not sure who they are or what colleges. i dont if salvadoran american college coaches should go here or in the thread of salvadorans in college soccer. or should we have a new thread of salvadoran college coaches? by the way, if everythings works as im planning. I should be coaching in college in the next 10 years, it depends on how the job market is. i want to coach but im afraid my career wont let me do it. only time and money would tell.
Re: Salvadoran coaches (past to present) and (home and abroad) Nah i reckon we should keep all salvadoran and depending of the parentage here Victor coreas got sacked by Limeno for poor results was rep[laced by eraldo correia Yeah we need as much coaches out there spreading the beauty of soccer, whether its amatuer, semi pro to professional
I know of a few Salvadoran coaches scattered around various levels in the US. I don't recall their names off the top of my head, but i'll look it up and post back when i find them.
Before anything else, here is one "high profile" coach that you guys missed....... Hugo Perez - USSF scout, former USA U20, California Victory (USL) and University of San Francisco (NCAA Division I) assistant coach Now onto the other coaches. Note the majority coach at a low level, but have achieved relative success which is why i've decided to include them....... Abner Calderon (Phoenix Carl Hayden) Ernesto Cruz (Palo Alto High school and Alpine FC) Jose Benitez (Freestate Arsenal) Adonay Jovel (Conejo Valley United) Raul Barillas (Chicago Magic) Carlos Zavaleta (Indiana soccer academy) Juan Mascaro (Brevard College - NCAA Division II) Jose Mejia Jr (Real So Cal - US Development Academy)
No he hasn't. Forgot about him. Good call!! Efrain Burgos (Santa Cruz County Breakers - US Development Academy) For more info, click here.
Just to add some sources....... Oscar Emigdio Benitez (Motagua - Honduras) Edgar Lopez Lopez (Sporting San Miguelito - Panama) Samuel Molina (Unknown - Costa Rica) Jose Efrain Nunez (Tiquisate - Guatemala) Milton Palacios (Plaza Amador - Panama) Mauricio Quintana (Unknown - Costa Rica) Ricardo Saprissa (Orion FC - Costa Rica)
Also note that Palacios won the Panamanian title in 1990 not 1991 and also formed part of the coaching staff in 1992 when Amador won it's third title.
you may get mad at this but next time it will help if you post the dates. i know there are links but honestly i do not have all the time to check link by link, i wish i had more time. that little info would help to get better info and understanding.
it may sound funny but when i mentioned that salvadorans were coaching a few community college, i was specifically talking about jovel. when i took a few classes at pierce college in sf valley, somebody told me about jovel but i didnt know much about him. at least in those days i think he was coaching at some community college. there was another salvadoran coach at another community college in the valley but i dont remember his name of the coach or the college. he was the assistant. i remember he came to me and told me he was an aliancista, and he told me he helped the coach but he never really played competitive soccer in el salvador. im sure there is more salvadoran and salvadoran-american coaches in around california.
Forgot to add these....... Roberto Ferman (World Class Soccer Academy) David Lopez (Lancaster Rattlers - PDL)
BKR already posted the dates in his original post. All my post is doing is adding sources to information that had already been provided.
Yeah Cheers anything to improve the information is great I am trying really hard to find what clubs Mauricio Quitana and Saul molina coached in costa Rica and i am sure their was a coach beside Benitez thats coached but dont recall whether it was first second or third division i will keep looking
Heres Info on Jose luis Rugamas the interim coach of the national team he's coached Atletico Marte 1999 El salvador under 20 side in 2006-2007 assisstant coach of the national team 2006-2009 Interim coach of the national team 2010-
Adding....... Carlos Aguilar (Walter Ferretti - Nicaragua) Won the league with the club (there first ever domestic cup) in 1998 (not 1999 like the article states) and was also there for a short time in 2007.
Sergio Valencia former El Salvador National team player and World cup player? C.D. Aguila player? in my short life I have never even heard of this guy? Can someone please fill me in....thanks
