Former Fire star and Czech international Lubos Kubik, who played against the United States at the 1990 World Cup, has been hired as an assistant coach of the American national team.
Kubik fills a spot that had been open since May, when Peter Nowak resigned to become coach of Major League Soccer's new team, Philadelphia Union.
Kubik scored 13 goals in 56 appearances for Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic from 1985-97. He joined MLS's Fire in 1998, when U.S. national coach Bob Bradley coached the team, and was Nowak's top assistant with the 2008 U.S. Olympic team.
The 46-year-old Kubik lives in Pardubice, Czech Republic.
