6' 0"

Biography of retired USMNT player Pat Noonan who is the head coach of FC Cincinnati.
Caps: 14 | Goals: 1

Pat Noonan established himself as one of the more dependable forwards in MLS over his ten years in the league. Combining pace and skill, particularly with his left foot, he could score from a variety of distances and angles.

Noonan developed into an integral part of Steve Nicol’s New England roster that challenged for multiple titles. In 2004, Noonan tied MetroStars midfielder Amado Guevara for the MLS Scoring Championship when he scored 11 goals and registered eight assists for 30 points.  In 2005, he scored eight goals in a season that was limited to 21 appearances due to injuries and National Team call-ups.

In 2007, Noonan won the first of two US Open Cups with New England. A year later as a member of the Columbus Crew he lifted the MLS Cup. He retired in 2012 as a member of the LA Galaxy, winning his second MLS Cup. Noonan joined the Galaxy coaching staff in 2013, moving with coach Bruce Arena to the USMNT in 2017. In 2018, Noonan became an assistant at the Philadelphia Union, leaving in December, 2021 to take the head coaching job at FC Cincinnati. Noonan won the MLS Coach of the Year award in 2023.
