Marcus Tracy has endured his share of ups and downs in his first year of professional soccer,
but the former Wake Forest standout has come through it in impressive fashion and did enough to
earn a look from U.S. national team head coach Bob Bradley.
The New York Red Bulls have announced the hiring of 57-year-old Swedish coach Hans Backe as the
team's new head coach. A long-time confidant of Sven-Goran Eriksson, Backe most recently worked as
head coach of English League two side Notts County, a job he quit after just seven weeks.

Marcus Tracy has endured his share of ups and downs in his first year of professional soccer,
but the former Wake Forest standout has come through it in impressive fashion and did enough to
earn a look from U.S. national team head coach Bob Bradley.
The wait has finally ended. After months of speculation and rumors of who was going to take the
job, former Notts County manager Hans Backe has taken the position as the new Head Coach of Red
Bull NY. Richie Williams who completed his second stint as Interim has been retained as the head
assistant to Backe while Des McAlennen remains the other assistant and keeper coach.
Former Fire forward/midfielder Chris Rolfe has kindly agreed to take some time out of his
schedule to answer some questions from you guys.
I'm guessing Chris will have a good deal to say about his new situation at Danish club Aalborg
BK (where the season will resume in the beginning of March), life in Europe, the manner in which
his Fire career ended, and much more, so ask away.
