| | SECAUCUS, N.J. -- Bora Milutinovic resigned as coach of the
New York-New Jersey MetroStars Friday following the worst season in
the team's four-year history.
Milutinovic and the Major League Soccer team "have mutually
agreed to part ways," the team said in a statement.
"Bora and I have concluded that this decision is in everyone's
best interest," said Charlie Stillitano, the team's vice president and
general manager.
The MetroStars finished this season 7-25, one of the worst
records in league history.
Milutinovic, who has led the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica
and Nigeria into the second round of the World Cup, will be
replaced by assistant Fernando Clavijo.
Milutinovic was the team's fifth coach in four years. His
two-year contract was to expire next season.
