Former Revolution midfielder Steve Ralston resigned from his post as Houston Dynamo assistant coach on Wednesday, and is expected to reunite with Dominic Kinnear in San Jose.<\/p>\n

Ralston, who was hired by Houston in July 2010, was one of two coaches who declined to return to the Dynamo staff for 2015. Goalkeeper coach Tim Hanley will also be leaving the club.<\/p>\n

Multiple reports have pegged San Jose as Ralston’s next destination given his familiarity with Kinnear, who gave the former Revolution midfielder his first full-time coaching gig. Kinnear left the Dynamo following the 2014 season to accept the\u00a0Earthquakes’ head coaching position.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the announcement of Ralston’s departure, Dynamo President Chris Canetti took to Twitter to express his gratitude for Ralston’s services.<\/p>\n

Would also like to wish Steve Ralston and Tim Hanley the best in their future endeavors and thank them for great work over the years.<\/p>\n
