Arizona United SC Names Frank Yallop as Head Coach, President of Soccer Operations

Posted on by Kyle Posted in Around the USL

The USL’s Arizona United SC has announced today the hiring of Frank Yallop as the second head coach in club history, inking a three-year deal.

The former Ipswich Town iron man and MLS original won MLS cup as a head coach in 2001 and 2003 and has enjoyed limited success since, peaking with a 2012 campaign at the San Jose Earthquakes which produced a Supporters Shield and Yallop’s second Coach of the Year honor. He coached the Canadian men’s national team from 2004-2006.

Yallop most recently coached the Chicago Fire where he oversaw a record of 13-26-24. He was relieved of his post on September 20th.

Arizona United has been without a head coach since parting ways with inaugural boss Michael Dellorusso on September 25th. Arizona compiled a record of 20-29-7 in two seasons under Dellorusso. The club has yet to make a playoff appearance.
