Reports: San Jose Earthquakes to name Sweden’s Mikael Stahre as new head coach

Just a month removed from making the MLS Cup playoffs for the first time since 2012, the San Jose Earthquakes are set to replace head coach Chris Leitch after less than six months on the job.

According to a report in Expressen, Swedish coach Mikael Stahre has resigned his post at BK Häcken, which finished fourth in the Swedish top division last season, with an eye towards taking the same role with the Quakes. Sources confirmed to both ESPNFC.com and SBIsoccer.com earlier today that San Jose will make the move official in the next few days.
