-- New Houston Dynamo coach
Tab Ramos, who championed the cause of young Americans, serving as the U.S. U-20
national team coach for four cycles and taking his team to the U-20 World Cup quarterfinals three times. The Dynamo's 26-player roster includes just 10 Americans, one of whom plays internationally for
Belize. (
