Daniel Gonzalez, the former Middleton-Yahara Soccer Club coaching director, was retained as goalkeeper coach for Major League Soccer's Chivas USA.

Martin Vasquez, who hired Gonzalez last January, was fired by the club in October after one season. The team finished last in the Western Conference last season with an 8-18-4 record.

Chivas USA named former Real Salt Lake assistant Robin Fraser its new coach on Tuesday, and the former MLS defender announced that Gonzalez would remain in his role.

Gonzalez was the coaching director at MYSC from 2005-08 and also was the keeper coach for the Colorado Rapids from 2000-03.
