Thomas Dooley

Thomas Dooley, native to Germany but born with dual citizenship in the U.S., began his professional soccer career playing for FC Homburg in the late 80's. He spent over 10 seasons (more than 250 matches) as a player in the German Bundesliga with heralded clubs such as Kaiserslautern, Schalke and Leverkusen.

Dooley emerged as a significant driver in Kaiserslautern's German Cup victory in 1990 and the Bundesliga Championship in 1991. He later won the UEFA Cup with Schalke in 1997. He transferred to Major League Soccer that year and spent 4 seasons playing with the Columbus Crew and New York/New Jersey Metrostars, during which he played over 100 matches and earned MLS Best XI honors two times, was voted to the MLS All-Star team on multiple occasions and was named the team's defensive player of the year and team MVP. Dooley was also named Captain of the 1998 U.S. National Team. Dooley was inducted into the US Soccer Hall of Fame in 2010 in recognition of his service to US Soccer both on the international level and domestically.

Dooley currently holds a UEFA Coaching Teacher License, the most prestigious license offered worldwide. He previously served as a head coach and sports director at FC Saarbruecken in 2002-2003 while the team was in the 2 Bundesliga.

He has also recently served as an interim-assistant coach to Jurgen Klinsmann for the US National Team in 2011 and is the assistant coach for the U-20 US National team while they prepare for the U-20 World Cup in 2013.
