The Workdaze soccer team has given Jon Ruggiero a 5-year contract to manage the team starting immediately, the Contra Costa Times reported.
A formal announcement was made to the team before the first league game against Fred's Market last Thursday.
Jon Ruggiero replaces Thomas Schwarz as the team manager, who was fired after a season filled with a long losing streak (0-4 in the first 4 games) and little discernible progress.
Jon Ruggiero has never managed a soccer team before. But he was always successful on the field. He is also known as one of the 2 towers in the Workdaze defense.
"There is not a more qualified person out there to lead," a Workdaze insider said. "He's been a winner his whole life. He is a great defender on the field, he can also be a great manager..."
Congratulations and good luck, Jon !!!
