'''Christopher Armas''' (born August 27, 1972) is an American professional [[Association football|soccer]] coach and former player who is the assistant head coach of [[Serie A]] club [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]].

==Youth and college==
Born in [[The Bronx]], New York City, Armas is of Puerto Rican descent and grew up in [[Brentwood, New York]]. He graduated from [[St. Anthony's High School (South Huntington, New York)|St. Anthony's High School]] and then attended [[Adelphi University]] from 1990 to 1993, amassing 17 goals and 15 assists over his collegiate career. Armas was named an [[NCAA Division II]] First Team All-American his senior year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://aupanthers.com/honors/hall-of-fame/chris-armas/141|title=Chris Armas (2005) – Adelphi Hall of Fame profile|website=[[Adelphi Panthers]]|publisher=[[Adelphi University]]|access-date=January 14, 2021}}</ref>

==Playing career==
===Professional===
After graduating from college, Armas spent 1994 and 1995 playing for the [[USISL]]'s [[Long Island Rough Riders]], being selected as a USISL All-Star. In 1995, the Rough Riders defeated the [[Minnesota Thunder]] in the USISL's Pro League Championship.<ref>{{cite news|last=Lewis|first=Michael|url=https://www.frontrowsoccer.com/2021/01/14/surreal-experience-repost-armas-enjoys-return-to-hota-2004-2/|title=Surreal Experience: Repost: Armas enjoys return to Hota (2004)|website=Front Row Soccer|access-date=January 14, 2021|date=January 14, 2021}}</ref>

In 1996, Armas was drafted by [[Los Angeles Galaxy]] in the first round of the [[Major League Soccer]] Supplemental Draft and played a significant role in their first and second seasons. [[Chicago Fire FC|Chicago Fire]] acquired Armas in a trade for their inaugural 1998 campaign. It was with the 1998 Fire team that Armas emerged as an exceptional player, helping them win their first MLS Championship that year. Between 1998 and 2001, Armas was named to the MLS Best XI four consecutive times, his streak only being broken by an ACL injury that kept him out of much of the 2002 campaign; Armas was named to his fifth Best XI after the 2003 MLS season, in addition to being named the MLS Comeback Player of the Year. He was named U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year in 2000. In ten years in MLS, he totaled eleven goals and 41 assists, plus added four goals and four assists in the playoffs.

On April 19, 2007, Armas announced that the 2007 MLS season with the Chicago Fire would be his last, as he decided to retire. His retirement was made official on November 13, 2007, after spending 12 years in MLS.<ref>{{cite news|last=Marcus|first=Jeffrey|url=https://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/11/14/kicking-about-retiring-training-and-mourning/|title=Kicking About: Retiring, Training and Mourning|website=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=January 14, 2021|date=November 14, 2007}}</ref>

===International===
Armas played for [[Puerto Rico national football team|Puerto Rico]] in the [[1993 Caribbean Cup]]. The competition was not then recognized by [[FIFA]] and so his five matches were classed as [[friendly match|friendlies]].<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Wahl|first=Grant|author-link=Grant Wahl|url=https://vault.si.com/vault/1998/11/02/inside-soccer|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200928100104/https://vault.si.com/vault/1998/11/02/inside-soccer|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 28, 2020|title=Inside Soccer: Chris Armas: Man Without A Country?|magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]]|publisher=[[Time Warner]]|access-date=January 14, 2021|date=November 2, 1998}}</ref>

He was therefore later allowed to switch his allegiance to the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]], for whom he made his debut November 6, 1998, against Australia.<ref>{{cite news|last=Lewis|first=Michael|url=https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2020/05/unsung-hero-chris-armas-and-his-contributions-to-the-usmnt|title=Unsung Hero: Chris Armas and His Contributions to the USMNT|website=[[United States Soccer Federation]]|access-date=January 14, 2021|date=May 19, 2020}}</ref> He went on to earn 66 caps. He did not break into the squad until soon after the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]], and his ACL injury came just before the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]], so he was never able to play for the United States in the World Cup. He was named as a standby player for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]], and did not feature in the [[2006 FIFA World Cup squads#United States|final squad]].

==Coaching career==
After his retirement, he coached youth soccer and was a high school physical education teacher at [[St. Anthony's High School (South Huntington, New York)|St. Anthony's High School]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/what-the-discourse-is-missing-about-chris-armas-shock-move-to-manchester-united|title=What the discourse is missing about Chris Armas' shock move to Manchester United|first=Charles|last=Boehm|date=December 7, 2021|work=MLSsoccer.com}}</ref>

Armas served as an assistant coach for the Chicago Fire in 2008 and was the head women's soccer coach at [[Adelphi University]] between 2011 and 2015.

On July 6, 2018, Armas was promoted to head coach of [[New York Red Bulls]] after former manager [[Jesse Marsch]] departed the club to join [[RB Salzburg|Red Bull Salzburg]] as an assistant.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://abc7ny.com/sports/jesse-marsch-leaves-new-york-red-bulls-chris-armas-promoted/3717120/|title=Jesse Marsch leaves New York Red Bulls, Chris Armas promoted|website=[[WABC-TV]]|publisher=[[ABC Owned Television Stations]]|access-date=January 14, 2021|date=July 6, 2018}}</ref> Armas helped the Red Bulls finish first in the regular season, winning the Supporters' Shield as a result. The Red Bulls were eliminated in the conference finals by [[Atlanta United FC|Atlanta United]].

In 2019, the Red Bulls finished sixth in the Eastern Conference and were eliminated by the [[Philadelphia Union]] in the first round of the playoffs. The Red Bulls were then eliminated in the group stage of the [[MLS is Back Tournament]] after they were defeated by [[FC Cincinnati]]. The team was in the middle of a scoring slump when Armas parted ways with the club on September 4, 2020, the day after a 1–0 loss to [[D.C. United]].<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.si.com/soccer/2020/09/04/chris-armas-fired-new-york-red-bulls-mls|title=New York Red Bulls Fire Manager Chris Armas|magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]]|publisher=theMaven|access-date=January 14, 2021|date=September 4, 2020}}</ref>

In 2021, Armas was hired as head coach of [[Toronto FC]], replacing [[Greg Vanney]], who departed the club at the end of his contract.<ref>{{cite news|last=Davidson|first=Neil|url=https://www.thestar.com/sports/soccer/2021/01/13/source-former-red-bulls-coach-chris-armas-to-succeed-greg-vanney-at-toronto-fc.html|title=Former Red Bulls coach Chris Armas named as Greg Vanney's successor at Toronto FC|website=[[Toronto Star]]|publisher=[[Torstar]]|access-date=January 14, 2021|date=January 13, 2021}}</ref> On July 4, 2021, following a 7–1 loss to D.C. United, the largest loss in the club's history and a league record of one win, eight losses and two draws, the team announced he had been fired.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wakingthered.com/2021/7/4/22563155/breaking-toronto-fc-fire-head-coach-chris-armas|title=BREAKING: Toronto FC fire head coach Chris Armas|date=July 4, 2021|work=Waking the Red|first=Michael|last=Singh}}</ref>
