That Soccer Guy

UPDATE The Soccer Insider has posted that Ben Olsen has made the decision to retire. He also stated that he is not a candidate as a head coach, but the possibility of an assistant coach is still up in the air.

According to the DC United news source the Soccer Insider Ben Olsen is now considering the option of retirement. As the SI said, the idea was thrown around after last season with his 1 appearance last season.

Olsen is DC United. When you say DC United you think Ben Olsen. One would hope that when Olsen does decide retirement is necessary, he will stay with the club in some capacity. I do find it interesting though that he will give his decision next week and that kind of coincides with United most likely naming a new head coach after Thanksgiving (which happens to be next week). I’m not trying to start any rumors, but I figured I would make that connection. Say what you will. Side Note: Ben Olsen has actually been on the side lines before in 2008 at Cruz Azul as an assistant coach.

Should be an interesting couple of weeks ahead…
