Earthquakes GM comes to defense of coach and players

SAN JOSE — The Earthquakes have no plans to change coaches although they’ve won only twice in five months under Sweden’s Mikael Stahre.

General manager Jesse Fioranelli told the Bay Area News Group no changes are forthcoming when asked directly if Stahre would be fired.

“It is correct we’re not going to take any rash decisions,” Fioranelli said late Monday in a wide-ranging interview about the Quakes’ status. “We as a club, the players and coaching staff, we don’t believe in taking rash decisions. We want to work it out together. This is not only coming from me, but it also is felt inside the locker room.
