Integrity of MLS is mission of former star Jeff Agoos

Agoos, a National Soccer Hall of Famer and the 1996 MLS Defender of the Year, now is the league’s vice president of competition.

NEW YORK — Jeff Agoos is far from the only former player to have found a second home at Major League Soccer’s Manhattan headquarters, but he’s among the most prominent.

As a hard-nosed center back, Agoos won the inaugural MLS Cup with D.C. United in 1996 and was named the league’s Defender of the Year five seasons later. He made 134 appearances for the U.S. national team and was elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2009.
