Russell takes over interim duties for the second time after a brief, two-match stint in 2014. A two-time MLS Cup winner (2001, ’03) as a player for the Quakes, the 48-year-old has been an assistant coach for parts of 11 seasons with San Jose, including the last year and a half.
Russell also coached the club’s then-USL Championship affiliate side, Reno 1868 FC, between 2017-20, earning USL Co-Coach of the Year honors in 2020.
“Ian is a very experienced coach who knows our club better than anyone,” said Leitch. “He had a great run as head coach at Reno for four years, winning a lot of games and making the playoffs every season. We’re confident that he’s ready to lead us.”
