While Arena has been on administrative leave during the month of August, Onalfo has temporarily taken on his sporting director duties, serving as what is essentially the club’s GM through the end of this busy summer transfer window, which included the largest ever outgoing sale of an MLS goalkeeper (Djordje Petrovic to Chelsea). In 1993, at the age of 23, Onalfo was already an NCAA National Champion, was captain of a US Olympic team. Then, he found a lump in his neck. On his 24th birthday, a doctor informed him it was cancer. 6-month chemotherapy, which worked and helped eliminate his cancer, but still took a real toll on him and of course, almost ended his career.
