Even many of those who consider themselves avid observers of Major League Soccer would probably be surprised to hear that Gerhard Struber more than likely remains the manager in the league with the highest stock overseas.
The New York Red Bulls team he took over at the end of last year are currently 6-4-10 and sitting well outside the Eastern Conference playoff slots with two months to go in the schedule. The rebuilt squad that had picked up a decent amount of momentum under Struber in the season’s early months has sputtered, particularly on the attacking side of the ball, in recent weeks.
