Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear earned his 124th win as an MLS head coach in Saturday’s 3-1 triumph over Seattle. The win moves Kinnear into a tie for third on the league’s all-time wins chart with Bob Bradley, the current manager of the Egyptian national team, who won 124 games as the head man with Chicago, New York and Chivas USA.
Kinnear, in his tenth season as head coach after succeeding Frank Yallop with the San Jose Earthquakes before the 2004 season, now only trails two coaches: Sigi Schmid and Bruce Arena. Kinnear’s 124th win came against the coach at the top of the list, Schmid. The man in between, Arena, was Kinnear's rival in the last two MLS Cup finals. The list below details the coaches with the most regular season wins in Major League Soccer history:
