The Quakes recently announced the hiring of head coach Mikael Stahre. Here are six things to know about the Quakes’ new gaffer:
- Stahre comes to San Jose from BK Hacken of the Swedish top-flight Allsvenskan, where he helped them jump from 10th place to fourth in just one season.
- He carries a strong defensive record and his sides have consistently finished among the league leaders in fewest goals allowed. Most recently, Hacken allowed 28 goals in a 30-game season, third fewest in the Allsvenskan.
- Stahre led AIK to the league double during his first season with the club in 2009.
