While the Quakes are virtually guaranteed to miss the postseason for a fourth consecutive year, the team does not intend to part ways with second-year manager Dominic Kinnear.
Club president David Kaval told ESPN FCthat he "absolutely expects Kinnear to return next season."
"I love [Kinnear], he's a great coach, and he brings a ton to the table," Kaval said. "I think he's one of the better coaches in the entire league. His history speaks for itself. I see him as our coach for a long time.
"I think we need to get more support around him in terms of players and infrastructure so he can be more effective.
