Philippe Senderos' trial with the Dynamo lasted only a week, but it did not take that long for him to make a great first impression.
From the moment he arrived in the locker room, coach Wilmer Cabrera said, Senderos' presence stood out. The 32-year old center back has played with big clubs like Arsenal and AC Milan and in three FIFA World Cups for Switzerland.
His experiences throughout Europe allow him to be comfortable in almost any situation. He was so comfortable during his trial from July 24-29 that he was directing players during training.
"That was impressive," Cabrera said Monday after the Dynamo announced Senderos' signing.
