STEVE RALSTON - ASSISTANT COACH
Ralston remains with the Quakes as an assistant coach after serving as interim assistant coach during the 2022 season.
A native of St. Louis, Ralston retired from Major League Soccer in 2010 as the league’s then all-time leader in assists (135), games played (378), starts (372), and minutes (33,143). He played in four MLS Cup Finals for New England, was named an MLS All-Star seven times, and received MLS Best XI recognition three times during his 15-year playing career. He then spent four and a half years as an assistant coach with Houston Dynamo FC (2010-14), where he led the team to two consecutive MLS Cup Finals (2011-12) and three consecutive Conference Finals (2011-13). He joined San Jose in the same capacity in 2015 before being elevated to interim head coach for the final six matches of the 2018 season. After three years away, he returned to San Jose as an interim assistant coach in 2022.
