If holding a job in Major League Soccer is quite demanding, can you imagine what would be the two?

Well, Bruce Arena will know it soon. The 67-year-old was named the New England Revolution's Sports Director and Head Coach on Tuesday, joining a short list of current coaches who also have a front-office title.

Who are the other three?

first name Head Coach and … club
Bruce Arena Sports director Revolution of New England
Peter Vermes Sports director Sporting Kansas City
Remi Guard Director of Player Personnel Montreal Impact
Greg Vanney Technical director Toronto FC

Vermes and Vanney were successful, each winning the MLS Cup from a trophy cabinet.

Gregg Berhalter is one of the most outstanding MLS to hold two titles.

At Columbus Crew, Berhalter was director and sports director. The head coach now of the USMNT has guided the crew to the playoffs over its five years in charge. Dominic Kinnear did the same with Houston Dynamo, guiding the club to consecutive MLS cups in 2006 and 2007 as head coach and general manager.
