MLS Coaches sharing this common history

If you have seen Noonan on the sidelines coaching for FC Cincinnati, then you may recognize this legend. Kinnear is one of the assistant coaches for the same team.
The defender from Glasgow, Scotland played for the Colorado Rapids in 1996, the first year of MLS ever. He played 14 games during the inaugural season.
A member of the US Men's National Team, Kinnear represented America from 1990 to 1993. In 54 career international games for the US, he found the back of the net nine times.
Kinnear became an assistant coach for the LA Galaxy in 2017 and would leave the franchise after the 2020 season. He was promoted to interim head coach twice during his tenure.
After taking off a season, Kinnear would join Noonan in 2022. He and Noonan have been on the sidelines together ever since.
Both of those decorated soccer players, along with Vanney, have shared franchise moments and history while with Los Angeles Galaxy and Colorado Rapids.
