San Jose Earthquakes part ways with Dominic Kinnear

The former Houston Dynamo coach's second stint at the helm of the MLS side has ended, with Chris Leitch set to take over

The Dominic Kinnear era has come to an end in San Jose for a second time, with the Earthquakes announcing Sunday they have parted ways with the 49-year-old coach.

Kinnear will be replaced as head coach by Chris Leitch, who was working as the team's technical director.

The Quakes sit in the playoff positions in the Western Conference, with their 6-6-5 record good for fifth place, and the club earned a 2-1 win against Real Salt Lake in a league match Saturday.
