Jason Kreis Signs Extension With Real Salt Lake Through 2013

“As I’ve said many times in the nearly seven years since he became the face of our franchise, Jason continues to fit the profile of every great leader I have worked with throughout my career,” said RSL owner Dave Checketts. “The vote of confidence that ownership and management give today to Jason speaks for itself. Not only is he one of the best young coaches in MLS, he’s one of the best period. We are thrilled to have him here for a very long time.”

Kreis was the youngest active coach in MLS when he was hired and just three years later has gone from curiously young and inexperienced as a coach to one of the best in the league. With almost all of their key players under the age of 30, Real Salt Lake figures to be a leading contender to win the MLS Cup for the next several years.
