Mike Petke is perhaps the least-respected successful coach in MLS. He won the Supporters' Shield in his first year as a head coach in the league, won it coaching the notoriously trophy-averse New York Red Bulls - delivered the first meaningful silverware in the club's history - and Caleb Porter won MLS Coach of the Year for taking Portland Timbers to the third-best record in the league in 2013. The following season, Petke guided RBNY to the Eastern Conference playoff final - at that point, just the third time in the team's history that it had got that far in the post-season - and was fired before the start of the 2015 campaign.
Second time this year that Petke has started a new coaching gig with a win. Not a bad record at all.
