Adios Señor Preki

LOS ANGELES, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Coach Predrag ‘Preki’ Radosavljevic parted company with the Los Angeles-based Chivas USA on Thursday, with a statement from the Major League Soccer club saying the decision was mutual.

Known simply as ‘Preki’, the former Everton and Portsmouth winger joined Chivas in 2006 as Bob Bradley’s assistant. He took full charge in 2007 when Bradley became the U.S national coach.

The former U.S international was the MLS coach of the Year in 2007 and reached the playoffs in each of his three seasons in charge. Chivas lost to local rivals the L.A Galaxy in this season’s Western Conference semi-finals.

SuperClasico Highlights

Soccer Sunday!

I'm getting ready to settle in for a full day of the MLS Playoffs. The Sounders and Dynamo kick off in 10 minutes and then I'll be watching the SuperClasico of the year to finish things off. Here are a couple of notes for today:

Freddie Ljungberg thinks the Houston pitch is an, "absolute disgrace!"

Houston COO, Chris Canetti, wants to remind the American soccer community that the Dynamo get great support.

The other white guy from England is also enjoying his time in the U.S.

Former USL Sounder, Maykel Galindo, is feeling good and could be the guy to carry Chivas USA past the Galaxy. Hey! I used to play with that guy.

Enjoy all the MLS Playoff action today, and if you need your European highlight fix, you can catch it all here.

Don't call it a comeback!

Zach Thornton has won the 2009 MLS Goal Keeper of the Year, his 2nd of his career (1998). I remember when Zach arrived to Chivas... I really didn't care for it, thought his days were numbered, and that he was washed up. What a year and what a comeback! I stand corrected and humbly acknowledge that you are the man. The beast is back!

What do you think of the winner, do you think he deserves it? Did you feel someone else should have received the award? Tough choice with Donovan Ricketts (LA Galaxy) and Kasey Keller (Seattle Sounders) as company... All I am saying is no one saw this! He truly surprised everyone and his numbers don't lie: 0.87 goals-against average, 12 shutouts and 23 goals in 27 games.
