San Jose Earthquakes have officially extended Bruce Arena's contract through the 2028-29 season, ensuring he will continue to lead the club for the next three years. This announcement comes after an impressive start to the 2026 Major League Soccer season, where the Earthquakes currently sit second in the Western Conference standings. With 32 points from 15 matches, the club has won nine of its first ten games, marking the best start in the league this century. Arena, who joined the Earthquakes in November 2024, has quickly made a significant impact on the team after a challenging previous season. Arena expressed his appreciation for the dedicated fan base and the talented core of players he has to work with. Key players like Niko Tsikaris and Preston Judd have stepped up this season, contributing significantly to the team's success. The Earthquakes' owner, John Fisher, praised Arena's leadership and the progress made in rebuilding the team. As the club takes a break for the World Cup, they are set to play a friendly against Club Tijuana on July 3 before resuming MLS action on July 22 against Orlando City.
