[edit] Collegiate Career

Brose played college soccer for North Carolina State and was named All-American in 1990. That year, the Wolfpack made it to the Final Four. Brose graduated in 1991 with two team mates, Roy Lassiter and Henry Gutierrez, who also had successful professional careers.

[edit] Time in Europe

After graduation, Brose moved to Europe. There he played with Stade Saint-Brieuc in France, and FC Saarbrücken in Germany. He established himself as a solid midfielder during his time in Germany.

[edit] San Jose Clash

Brose returned to the United States in 1999 to join the San Jose Clash of the Major League Soccer (MLS). He quickly established himself as a mainstay in the midfield. His outstanding play during the 2000 season led to his selection to play in the All Star Game. On a side note, this was also the year the Clash changed their name to the Earthquakes. He played his last season in 2001, the year the San Jose Earthquakes won their first championsip. Unfortunately he only played one game that year, which proved to be his last playing soccer.

[edit] National Team

Brose played for the U.S. U-18, U-20, U-23 and Senior men's teams.

This included the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona and the 1989 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Saudi Arabia.

Brose was capped four times for the full US national team, scoring a goal.

[edit] Coaching

After his retirement from active playing, Brose has worked as a Staff Coach of the Silicon Valley Football Club; Head Coach of the Mid-Michigan Bucks of the PDL; and the Director of Youth Development and U12 girls team of the Triangle Futbol Club. Actually Dario does not coach the U12 girls team anymore. I should know he was my coach.
