Post-playing-career, Agoos served as the Technical Director and Sporting Director of the [[New York Red Bulls]], and then Vice President of Competition for [[Major League Soccer]]. He is currently President and General Manager of Soccer Operations for [[Portland Thorns FC]].

==Early life==
Agoos (nicknamed ''[[Goose]]'') was born in [[Geneva]], Switzerland, as his father was working overseas there for Caterpillar Construction Company. He grew up in [[Texas]], and attended [[J.J. Pearce High School]] in [[Richardson, Texas]]. He was named a two-time ''Parade Magazine'' High School All-American as well as a Dallas All-Sports Athlete-of-the-Year. Agoos is Jewish,<ref name=jewish_journal>{{cite web|title=The Jewish Earthquake|url=http://www.jewishjournal.com/up_front/article/the_jewish_earthquake_20020524/|work=JewishJournal.com|access-date=March 29, 2011|archive-date=September 19, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919221426/http://www.jewishjournal.com/up_front/article/the_jewish_earthquake_20020524/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jeff-agoos|title=Jeff Agoos|website=www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org}}</ref> and during the summer of 1985, represented the United States at the [[1985 Maccabiah Games]] and was at 17 the youngest player on the team.<ref name=JVL>{{cite web | title=Jeff Agoos | url=https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/Jeff_Agoos.html | publisher=Jewish Virtual Library | access-date=April 11, 2009}}</ref><ref name="autogenerated1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.socceramerica.com/publications/article/16882/jeff-agoos-1996-was-the-year-of-the-goose.html|title=Jeff Agoos: 1996 was the Year of the Goose|website=www.socceramerica.com|access-date=June 16, 2018|archive-date=April 4, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404190955/https://www.socceramerica.com/publications/article/16882/jeff-agoos-1996-was-the-year-of-the-goose.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Youth career==
From 1986 to 1990, Agoos played soccer for [[Bruce Arena]] at the [[Virginia Cavaliers men's soccer|University of Virginia]]. During his four seasons with the Cavaliers, earned [[Division I First-Team All-American (soccer)|First-Team All-American]] honors twice, in 1988 and 1990 and is the only 4-time All American in Uva's history. He finished second in [[Hermann Trophy|Hermann Award]] voting his senior season.

In 1989, his junior year, Virginia went to the [[1989 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament|NCAA championship]] game where it fought the [[Santa Clara Broncos#Men's soccer|Santa Clara University]] to a 1–1 draw after 4 overtimes. While the teams wanted to continue to play, NCAA officials ended the game and declared the two teams co-champions. At the time there were no penalty kicks to end a tie. At the end of the season, Agoos represented the United States at the [[1989 Maccabiah Games]].<ref name=JVL/>

==Club career==
Upon graduating from college, Agoos played for the [[Maryland Bays]] of the [[A-League (American)|A-League]] in 1991. On February 13, 1991, the [[Dallas Sidekicks (1984–2004)|Dallas Sidekicks]] of the [[Major Soccer League|Major Indoor Soccer League]] drafted Agoos with the second overall pick of the 1991 draft.  He played in thirty games in the 1991–1992 season, scoring seven goals. In 1992, he left the Sidekicks to play full-time for the U.S. national team, but Dallas again selected him in a draft, this time the 1993 [[Continental Indoor Soccer League]] (CISL) draft, but he did not re-sign with the team.  On June 26, 1994, after being cut from the U.S. roster for the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]], Agoos signed with the [[Los Angeles Salsa]] for the [[1994 American Professional Soccer League]] season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1994-06-26-9406250225-story.html|title=NIGERIA'S FOUL ACT MERITS FAIR PUNISHMENT|first=CHARLES|last=BRICKER|website=Sun-Sentinel.com|date=June 26, 1994 }}</ref>  The Salsa went to the playoff semifinals that season as Agoos was selected Second Team All League.  In the fall of 1994, he moved to Germany, where he played for [[SV Wehen]] during the 1994–95 season.

===Major League Soccer===
Agoos returned from Germany in 1995 to sign with [[Major League Soccer]].  While waiting for the new league's first season, Agoos served as an assistant coach to [[Bruce Arena]] at the [[University of Virginia]].  In order to create a league, MLS [[1996 MLS Inaugural Allocations|allocated]] various recognized players to each team.  As part of this process, the league allocated Agoos to [[D.C. United]] where he joined Bruce Arena, the team's first coach.  That year, Agoos won the first [[MLS Cup|MLS Championship]] as well as the [[U.S. Open Cup]]. He followed it up the next year with his second MLS Championship. In 1998, D.C. United achieved its greatest accomplishment when it defeated [[Vasco de Gama]] to take the [[Copa Interamericana|Interamerican Cup]]. Agoos then won his third MLS Championship with D.C. United in 1999. He spent 2001 through 2004 with the [[San Jose Earthquakes]], and proceeded to win his fourth and fifth MLS Championships. Agoos was named [[MLS Defender of the Year Award|MLS Defender of the Year]] in 2001 and earned a place in the [[MLS Best XI]] three times (1997, 1999, and 2001). In 2005, Agoos was named to the league's tenth anniversary [[MLS All-Time Best XI|All-Time Best XI]].  He was traded to the [[MetroStars]] after the 2004 season for a fourth-round draft pick. In ten years in MLS, Agoos scored 11 regular-season goals and added 25 assists in 244 matches. In 2005, he was named to the [[MLS All-Time Best XI]], before retiring December 8, 2005.

==International career==

He was the last member to be cut from the U.S. squad for the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]] and he burned his uniform upon hearing the news. He made the squad for the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]] in France but did not play a single minute, in favor of [[David Regis]]. In the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 World Cup]] in South Korea/Japan at the age of 34, Agoos started the first three games (he scored an [[own goal]] to finish the scoring in the surprising win against [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]]) until he suffered a calf injury against [[Poland national football team|Poland]], and then missed the rest of the tournament. He was capped a total of 134 times for the U.S., earning his last cap against [[Wales national football team|Wales]] on May 26, 2003.
