Former Czechoslovakia star 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 one of two spots that opened when Peter Nowak resigned last year to become coach of Major League Soccer's expansion Philadelphia Union and John Hackworth left to become Nowak's assistant with the Union.
Jesse Marsch was hired last month as an assistant after he retired as a Chivas USA player.
Kubik had 13 goals in 56 appearances for Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic from 1985-97. He joined MLS's Chicago Fire in 1998, when current United States coach Bob Bradley coached the team, and was Nowak's top assistant with the 2008 U.S. Olympic team.
The 46-year-old lives in Pardubice, Czech Republic.
