Before beginning his coaching career, Arena was a [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]] for [[Cornell University]], and earned one cap with the [[United States men's national soccer team]].

==Playing career==

===High school and college===
Arena was born in [[Brooklyn|Brooklyn, New York]] to Vincent and Adeline Arena, Italian immigrants (from [[Alicudi]], [[Sicily]]).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2002/06/15/la-famiglia-dell-allenatore-degli-usa-agli.html|title=La famiglia dell'allenatore degli Usa, agli ottavi dei Mondiali, è originaria di Alicudi|work=|publisher=|agency=La Repubblica|date=June 15, 2002|access-date=June 3, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=November 22, 2016 |title=Five Things to Know About U.S. MNT Head Coach Bruce Arena |url=https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2016/11/five-things-to-know-about-us-mnt-head-coach-bruce-arena |access-date=December 27, 2024 |website=[[United States Soccer Federation]]}}</ref> He grew up in the [[Long Island]] town of [[Franklin Square, New York]], where he attended [[H.

Adeline was diagnosed with breast cancer when Bruce Arena was a child and had to undergo a [[mastectomy]].<ref name=":3" />

While he excelled at several sports, he was too small for [[American football]], so he joined his high school's soccer team as a defender. He moved into the goal when the starting goalkeeper was suspended after hitting another school's player during a game. While in high school, he also played a single season with local club Hota S.C. of New York City's [[Cosmopolitan Soccer League]].

After graduation, he began his collegiate athletic career playing both [[lacrosse]] and soccer at [[Nassau Community College]], a two-year college near his home. Arena was a 1970 and 1971 Honorable Mention [[All-America]]n lacrosse player and an All-American soccer player. He was inducted into the National Junior College Hall of Fame in 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.laxpower.com/laxnews/news.php?story=10267|title=National Junior College Hall of Fame Inductees for '08|work=laxpower.com|access-date=June 10, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222092715/http://www.laxpower.com/laxnews/news.php?story=10267|archive-date=December 22, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> While at Nassau, he played soccer for head coach Bill Stevenson and goalkeeper coach [[Shep Messing]], a future [[New York Cosmos (1970–85)|New York Cosmos]] goalkeeper. At the end of his two years with Nassau, Arena transferred to [[Cornell University]] in upstate [[New York (state)|New York]] where he was a 1972 Honorable Mention All American and a 1973 Second Team All American in lacrosse. He did not originally intend to play soccer, but injuries to the school's first and second string goalkeepers led the men's soccer coach, [[Dan Wood (soccer)|Dan Wood]], to recruit Arena into the team as its goalkeeper. Arena backstopped the [[Cornell Big Red]] soccer team to the [[1972 NCAA University Division Men's Soccer Championship|1972 NCAA Soccer Championship]] Final Four and earned Most Valuable Defensive Player honors for the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|first=Alex |last= Kwan|date=May 31, 2006| url=https://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/May06/Arena_profile.ak.html|title=U.S. men's soccer team is competing at World Cup in Germany, with Cornellian Bruce Arena at helm|work=Cornell Chronicle|access-date=June 10, 2016}}</ref>

===Professional===
After Arena's graduation from Cornell, [[New York Cosmos (1970–85)|New York Cosmos]] [[Draft (sports)|drafted]] him in the fifth round of the [[North American Soccer League (1968–84)|North American Soccer League]] college draft. The Cosmos released him before the season.   Arena then signed to play professional lacrosse for the [[Montreal Quebecois]], spending a single season with the team in 1975. The [[National Lacrosse League (1974–75)|National Lacrosse League]] folded at the end of the 1975 season, leaving Arena unemployed. At the same time, [[Dan Wood (soccer)|Dan Wood]], who had recruited Arena to play for the Cornell soccer team, had been named the new head coach of the expansion [[Tacoma Tides]] which played in the [[American Soccer League (1933–83)|American Soccer League]]. Wood contacted Arena and convinced him to move to the [[Pacific Northwest]] in 1976 to play for him.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://goalseattle.com/TidesUpdates/meet_the_tacoma_tides.htm|title=Meet the Tacoma Tides|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927230255/http://goalseattle.com/TidesUpdates/meet_the_tacoma_tides.htm|archive-date=September 27, 2007|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Lawrence |first=John |date=March 27, 1976 |title=Arena follows coach onto Tides boot payroll |page=B2 |work=[[The News Tribune]] |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/113037323/arena-follows-coach-onto-tides-boot/ |via=[[Newspapers.com]] |accessdate=November 13, 2022}}</ref> While Arena was the second string goalkeeper behind starter [[Jamil Canal]], the move to Tacoma was significant in that it introduced Arena to coaching. That year, in addition to playing for the Tides, Arena coached the men's soccer team at the [[University of Puget Sound]], where he compiled a 5–7 record.<ref>{{cite web |title=1977 Tamanawas |page=93 |url=https://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1026&context=ups_yearbooks |publisher=[[University of Puget Sound]] |accessdate=November 13, 2022}}</ref>

===International===
In 1973, he earned his only [[United States men's national soccer team|national team]] [[Cap (sport)|cap]] as a second-half substitute for [[Bob Rigby]] in a 2–0 loss to [[Israel national football team|Israel]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesu/usa-intres-det70.html |title=USA – Details of International matches 1970–1979 |work=[[RSSSF]] |access-date=June 10, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100205054634/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesu/usa-intres-det70.html |archive-date=February 5, 2010 }}</ref> National team coach, [[Gordon Bradley]], had called Arena into the national team for an earlier game against [[Haiti national football team|Haiti]], but Arena could not get time off from his job teaching at a local junior high school.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ussoccer.com/news/centennial/01/hidden-caps-arena.aspx|title=Hidden caps: Bruce Arena|publisher=U.S. Soccer|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130117223126/http://www.ussoccer.com/news/centennial/01/hidden-caps-arena.aspx |archive-date=January 17, 2013 }}</ref> In addition to his single cap with the U.S. soccer team, Arena also played for the national lacrosse team which won the 1974 [[World Lacrosse Championship]] and finished runner up in 1978.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uslacrosse.org/national_teams/rosters/men_1974.phtml|title=1974 U.S. Men's National Team – IFL World Champions|publisher=US Lacrosse|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050114094340/http://www.uslacrosse.org/national_teams/rosters/men_1974.phtml|archive-date=January 14, 2005|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uslacrosse.org/national_teams/rosters/men_1978.phtml|title=1978 U.S. Men's National Team – ILF Runner-up|publisher=US Lacrosse|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071123124103/http://www.uslacrosse.org/national_teams/rosters/men_1978.phtml|archive-date=November 23, 2007|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

==Coaching career==

===College===
In 1977, Arena moved back to teach at Cornell and act as the school's assistant lacrosse coach. While he was there, the [[University of Virginia]] (UVA) advertised for two open coaching positions – head soccer coach and assistant lacrosse coach beginning the 1978 season. Arena took that opportunity and went on to coach both the UVA lacrosse and soccer teams for seven years, before becoming the school's dedicated soccer coach in 1985. Arena was the head coach of the Virginia program for eighteen years, during which he won five national championships (including 4 straight from 1991 to 1994) and amassed a 295–58–32 record, for a career NCAA mark of 300–65–32. Additionally, he coached and developed many players at Virginia who would go on to play significant roles in the United States national team, including [[Claudio Reyna]], [[Jeff Agoos]], [[Ben Olsen]], [[John Harkes]] and [[Tony Meola]].<ref name=":0" /> Arena also coached [[Richie Williams]] who later became his assistant coach with the US national team and the New England Revolution.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-13 |title=Bruce Arena-New England Revs coaching chaos explained: Former USMNT boss quits, MLS club struggles to move on |url=https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/bruce-arena-new-england-revs-coaching-chaos-explained-former-usmnt-boss-quits-mls-club-struggles-to-move-on/ |access-date=2023-10-02 |website=CBSSports.com |language=en}}</ref> In addition to coaching, Arena served as the ACC soccer coaches chairman as well as two three-year terms on the NCAA Division I soccer committee from 1989 to 1995.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Macfarlane |first=Andy |date=2022-06-10 |title=Bruce Arena: Built Three United States Soccer Dynasties |url=https://historyofsoccer.info/bruce-arena |access-date=2023-10-02 |website=History Of Soccer |language=en-us}}</ref>

===D.C. United===
On January 3, 1996, Arena left UVA to become the coach of [[D.C. United]] of [[Major League Soccer]]. The 1996 season would be both the team's and the league's inaugural season, so Arena needed to build a team from scratch just like the other 9 MLS club managers. To make his position even more difficult, he had agreed to coach the [[United States men's national under-23 soccer team|U.S. U-23 national team]] at the [[1996 Summer Olympics]] in Atlanta, where it went a disappointing 1–1–1. Despite the underperformance at the Olympics, Arena managed to form his team and lead United to an improbable comeback victory in the first [[MLS Cup]] at [[Foxboro Stadium]]. In addition to the MLS title, Arena also took United to the [[1996 U.S. Open Cup]] championship. Arena and United continued to experience success in 1997. The heavily favored team won its second [[MLS Cup]] at [[RFK Stadium]] defeating the surprise Western Conference champion [[Colorado Rapids]] 2–1. Arena's success led to his selection as the 1997 [[MLS Coach of the Year Award|MLS Coach of the Year]]. This year, Arena took United to the semi-finals of the [[CONCACAF Champions' Cup]]. In 1998, Arena took United to its third consecutive MLS Cup only to see his team fall to the expansion [[Chicago Fire Soccer Club|Chicago Fire]] led by his protégé [[Bob Bradley]]. However, while Arena failed to add another MLS championship to his resume, he guided United to the CONCACAF Champions' Cup title with a 1–0 victory over [[Toluca]] on August 16, 1998. He followed that with a defeat of Brazilian club [[CR Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]] to take the [[Copa Interamericana|Interamerican Cup]] title. Arena was also the 1997 and 1998 [[Major League Soccer All-Star Game|MLS All-Star]] head coach.

===National team===
Arena was hired by the U.S. national team to replace [[Steve Sampson]] as head coach in October 1998 following the team's disastrous showing in the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]]. His first game in charge was a friendly against [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]] in [[San Jose, California]], on November 6, 1998. He then forged the team into a successful international side, and is the most successful coach in United States history: most international wins; longest home shut-out; best World Cup showing since 1930, reaching the quarterfinals at the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 World Cup]], before a defeat against [[Germany national football team|Germany]]; and all-time best international [[FIFA World Rankings|FIFA Ranking]] (4th place, April 2006). Arena also won two Gold Cup championships in 2002 and 2005, with a third-place finish in 2003.

The 2002 World Cup was the high point of Arena's career as the U.S. coach. Heavy underdogs coming into the tournament, they stunned the world by beating a respected [[Portugal national football team|Portuguese team]] 3–2 in their opening game. Arena was lauded afterward for instilling in his players the confidence to play aggressively against an international powerhouse. A hard-fought tie against host nation [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]] was enough to qualify for the second round, despite a poor loss against [[Poland national football team|Poland]] in the final group game. Arena and the U.S. met old nemesis Mexico in the Round of 16, and Arena adapted his tactics to secure a 2–0 victory and a quarterfinal berth. The U.S. switched from their usual 4–4–2 to a 3–5–2, and it paid dividends almost immediately when [[Josh Wolff]], who Arena had brought in to fill out the formation, set up [[Brian McBride]] for the winning goal early in the first half. Arena switched the team back to a 4–4–2 for their quarterfinal against Germany, and the team continued to surprise many by dominating stretches of the game. However, they lost 1–0 on a [[Michael Ballack]] header,<ref>{{Cite news |last=Ingle |first=Sean |date=2002-06-21 |title=Germany 1 - 0 USA |language=en-GB |work=the Guardian |url=http://www.theguardian.com/football/2002/jun/21/minutebyminute.worldcupfootball20021 |access-date=2023-10-04 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> and there was a controversy with a penalty not awarded to the U.S. for a handball in the German penalty box.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Greatest Sports What Ifs |url=https://www.si.com/specials/greatest-sports-what-ifs/planet-futbol/2017/2002-world-cup-germany-us-handball |access-date=2023-10-04 |website=SI.com}}</ref>

The U.S. national squad fell short of expectations at the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]], finishing last in Group E with losses to the [[Czech Republic national football team|Czech Republic]] and [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]]. The United States scored only twice in its three games, a tie against eventual champion [[Italy national football team|Italy]] on an [[own goal]] by Italian [[Cristian Zaccardo]] and a goal from [[Clint Dempsey]] against Ghana. Some, including former team member and [[ESPN]] analyst [[Eric Wynalda]], have blamed the poor performance on questionable coaching decisions by Arena, including not playing [[Clint Dempsey]] and putting [[DaMarcus Beasley]] on the right wing instead of his favored left against the Czechs, and using a defensive 4–5–1 in the must-win match vs. Ghana which the U.S. eventually lost.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}} Another questionable decision was made when [[Claudio Reyna]] became injured after the first goal when Arena subbed in defensive midfielder [[Ben Olsen]] to replace Reyna.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}

During his time as national team head coach, the United States rose in the FIFA world rankings from nineteenth to fourth, to the surprise, even, of U.S. players.<ref name="GnM">{{cite news|title=FIFA adapting new world rankings|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060525.wfifa25/BNStory/Sports/home|work=The Globe and Mail| agency=Associated Press|date=June 2, 2006}}</ref> Arena's 75 wins from 1998 to 2006 are by far the most in U.S. history. Nevertheless, three weeks after the Americans' disappointing first-round exit from the World Cup in Germany, the [[United States Soccer Federation|U.S. Soccer Federation]] announced that Arena's contract would not be renewed when it expired at the end of 2006. U.S. Soccer Federation president [[Sunil Gulati]] explained Arena's dismissal, stating that the U.S. was seeking a "fresh approach."<ref name="MSNBC">{{cite news|title=Arena finished as U.S. national coach

Arena was eventually replaced as national team coach by his close friend and former assistant at Virginia and D.C. United, [[Bob Bradley]]. During his time coaching the national team, Arena had 81 wins, the highest number of any coach in the team's history.<ref name=":0" />

===New York Red Bulls===
After the US. national team, Arena pursued other coaching opportunities. That led to his being hired by [[Major League Soccer]] team [[New York Red Bulls]]. Arena's first match with the club came on August 12, 2006, in a friendly against [[FC Barcelona]]. On November 5, 2007, Red Bulls and Arena decided mutually to part company. During his year-and-a-half with the club, he went 16–16–10.  He had two years remaining on his contract with the club.

===Los Angeles Galaxy===
On August 18, 2008, [[LA Galaxy|Los Angeles Galaxy]] hired Arena to replace [[Ruud Gullit]] as head coach and [[Alexi Lalas]] as general manager.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/mls/galaxy/2008-08-18-arena-hired_N.htm|title=Former U.S. coach Bruce Arena hired as Galaxy coach, GM |work=USA Today|date=August 18, 2008 |access-date=June 10, 2016}}</ref> He inherited a team that had failed to make the playoffs since 2005 and would finish the 2008 season at 8–13–9, finishing next-to-last in the league and letting in a league-high 62 goals. During the offseason, Arena reshaped the defense, drafting [[Omar Gonzalez]] and [[A. J. DeLaGarza]] who became fixtures on the backline and bringing in [[Donovan Ricketts]] as the goalkeeper. Although the team scored only 36 goals in 2009, they also let in only 31. This led to a 12–6–12 record and second-place finish in the league standings. The Galaxy went to the playoffs and Arena was selected as the [[MLS Coach of the Year Award]].

The [[2011 Major League Soccer season]] went extremely well for Bruce's Galaxy.  His club won the Supporters' Shield for the second straight season, became only the third team in league history to reach the 60-point plateau, and won the [[2011 MLS Cup]] in a 1–0 victory over the [[Houston Dynamo]]. Los Angeles also advanced to the elimination round of the [[2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League|CONCACAF Champions League]]. The Galaxy was, however, eliminated from the [[2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup|U.S. Open Cup]] in the quarterfinal stage. The club was undefeated in competitive matches at the [[Home Depot Center]] in 2011.

The [[2012 Major League Soccer season|2012 Galaxy repeated]] winning the championship, again over Houston, despite a slow start to the year. He won a third championship with the Galaxy in 2014 over the [[New England Revolution]].
