Manny Lagos Biography

Manny Lagos is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on June 11, 1971 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. Manuel “Manny” Lagos, born June 11, 1971, is an ex-American soccer midfielder. He last played for the Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer and was the former Head Coach at Minnesota United FC. He is the youngest of eight children and the son of Buzz Lagos, a well-respected American soccer coach.

Lagos’ vagabond MLS journey took him to Tampa Bay Mutiny on August 2, 1999 with Ritchie Kotschau as part of a deal for Sam George or Paul Dougherty. He returned swinging with 4 goals in 10 games, and was awarded Player of the Week. Lagos’ momentum continued in 2000 when he scored 8 goals in 10 games and had 7 assists in 1500 minutes. He was the league’s tenth place leader in points per match. However, he would request a trade because his wife didn’t like Tampa and wanted to continue her legal career elsewhere.

He was dealt to the San Jose Earthquakes in January 2001 on a draft-day trade for second-round and third-round picks, and played for the Earthquakes from 2001 through 2003, starting regularly in every season and winning MLS Cups in the bookend years. He enjoyed what was likely his best season in 2001, playing a key role in the Earthquakes’ playoff run by adding 3 goals and 2 assists to regular season totals of 8 and 8. After his tenure with the ‘Quakes, Lagos was traded to the Columbus Crew for a third-round draft pick, and was reunited there with long-time friend and youth soccer, college soccer, and Thunder teammate Tony Sanneh after Sanneh signed with the Crew late in 2004. Manny played 18 games and scored 1 goal for the Crew that year, but never really recovered from the last of his many knee surgeries, seeing his playing time dwindle to 5 appearances in 2005. He was waived by Columbus that May to make room for Chris Henderson and retired in June.

In January 2006, Lagos was named the Director of Soccer Operations for the Minnesota Thunder. In this role, he has placed particular emphasis on youth development, community relations, and the team’s stadium search. Manny has also done some sporadic work in broadcasting, serving as a color commentator for XM Radio during the 2006 World Cup. On February 10, 2010 Lagos was appointed as the head coach of newly expansion NSC Minnesota Stars following the implosion of the Thunder.

The MetroStars signed Lagos in 1996, halfway through the first MLS season. His season was short-lived after he suffered a terrible injury to his left knee, resulting in him tearing his ACL, MCL and LCL. Lagos returned to play in 15 league matches the following season. However, he was still impaired and less efficient than before. The Metros released Manny in 1997 MLS Expansion Draft. He was then taken by the Chicago Fire. He was not fully recovered and considered retirement. Manny played only one game in 1998 for the MLS Cup champions and continued to play only nine games in 1999. His unreliable health and Fire’s excess of attacking players meant that he was always a substitute.
