Red Bulls ring in the changes: Backe out, Roxburgh inThat didn't take long. Less than 24 hours after suffering playoff elimination at the hands of D.C. United in an unforgettable Eastern Conference semifinal series on Thursday night, the New York Red Bulls are already ringing in the changes. First, the club announced that manager Hans Backe and assistant Jan Halvor Halvorsen will not be returning when their contracts expire at the end of the year. Assistant Mike Petke will take over as interim manager. www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/11/09/red-bulls-ring-changes-backe-out-roxburgh

Red Bulls under pressure to name head coachAccording to the report, New York's long-rumored No. 1 target, Gary McAllister, is asking for more money than the Red Bulls are willing to offer. Naturally, this throws other names into consideration, such as former Portugal manager and Manchester United assistant Carlos Queiroz, who also directed the then MetroStars in their inaugural 1996 season. Former Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle, who brought former Red Bulls defender Tim Ream to England, is also rumored to be interested in the job, but again, his asking price could prove a stumbling block. Fox Soccer commentator Eric Wynalda is also rumored to have met with Red Bulls GM Jerome de Bontin and director of global soccer Gérard Houllier about a position at the club, but sporting director Andy Roxburgh (above) is expected to have the final say on a coaching hire. www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/12/28/report-red-bulls-under-pressure-name-head-coach

Report: Red Bulls to hire Sousa, pursue Reyna as assistantMajor League Soccer's final head coaching vacancy has been filled, according to a report from Soccer By Ives. On Monday morning, Ives Galarcep reported that former Videoton, Leicester City, QPR and Swansea City manager Paulo Sousa had accepted the New York Red Bulls' top post, with an official announcement to come later in the week. According to Galarcep, current US Soccer youth technical director and former Red Bulls star Claudio Reyna has also been offered a position as Sousa's top assistant. When contacted by MLSsoccer.com, the Red Bulls declined to comment on the report. READ: Red Bulls' Petke cherishing opportunity as interim coach Sousa recently resigned from his managerial post at Videoton in the Hungarian first division for "family reasons," and has been linked to the New York job since ESPN's Alexi Lalas reported that former Portuguese international was "a good bet to be the next coach of the New York Red Bulls" on Jan. 5. www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/01/14/report-red-bulls-hire-sousa-pursue-reyna-assistant

Promotion From Within Red Bulls name Petke head coach after long, arduous search
After a lengthy search to find the brand new face of the New York Red Bulls, the club is moving forward with one of the most familiar figures in franchise history. The Red Bulls announced on Thursday that assistant coach Mike Petke has been promoted to the club’s top spot for the 2013 season, 15 years after he broke into Major League Soccer as a hard-charging and devoted young defender for the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. Petke, who turns 37 years old next week, becomes the third-youngest coach in the league behind D.C. United’s Ben Olsen and Toronto FC’s Ryan Nelsen, and the first American-born head coach in New York since the club parted ways with Bruce Arena in November 2007. He's also the 12th current coach in MLS who played in the league at some point in his career. www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/01/24/after-lengthy-search-red-bulls-name-petke-new-head-coach
