FC Dallas coach Oscar Pareja was named MLS Coach of the Year, making him the second in club history to win the award. He is the seventh former MLS player to pick up the honor.
Pareja joins FCD defender Matt Hedges in picking up individual honors. The captain was named MLS Defender of the Year in November. In 2010, Schellas Hyndman was the first FCD coach to be honored by the league.
Pareja led Dallas to the U.S. Open Cup title, and FCD won the Supporters' Shield, the team's first regular-season championship.
The award was voted on by MLS club management, media and current MLS players.
