""There's a lot of things that are going to probably happen here in the next year. There's a possibility of having new ownership and who knows where that takes us. So my focus is on this team at this time and the next game. I'm not trying to dictate a five-year plan at the moment.""
""Well, you know, it's very early in the season. You don't get too crazy in the early going.""
""In Arena's most successful years with the Galaxy, where he won three MLS Cups and two Supporters' Shields in five seasons, the team was stout defensively and that's also true of this San José team, which has given up a league-low 20 shots and only two goals, tied with LAFC for fewest in MLS.""
""Arena was also successful in luring former German World Cup player Timo Werner to San José, signing him to a multiyear contract worth a reported $5.4 million a season. That makes him the best-paid player in franchise history, a significant investment.""
Bruce Arena, the most successful coach in MLS history, leads the San José Earthquakes, who are off to their best start at 6-1-0. Arena downplays early season success, noting that wins in April are as valuable as those in October. The team faces a crucial match against LAFC, having only two wins against teams with winning records. Arena remains focused on the current season amid potential ownership changes and has strengthened the team defensively, allowing only two goals this season.
