SAN JOSE — The Earthquakes opened training camp Monday with a new coach, new stadium and many new faces.

They hope the sea change leads to new results after two years of missing the Major League Soccer playoffs.

“I see it as a brand new team,” defensive star Clarence Goodson said after the first practice under coach Dominic Kinnear. “You are going to see a different product from last year.”

The Quakes ended the season with a club-record 14-game winless streak that landed them in last place in the Western Conference.

But they started camp adjacent to new 18,000-seat Avaya Stadium with three big offseason acquisitions in camp: Leandro Barrera, Sanna Nyassi and Marvell Wynne. Their presence Monday indicated it’s a matter of formality for them to officially sign.

But the Earthquakes won’t have goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum, who was picked in the re-entry draft last month. He decided to stay in Kansas and start a family instead of continuing his career.

The decision led the Earthquakes to take Providence goalkeeper Keasel Broome in the third round of the college draft last week.

The development also puts former Cal star David Bingham in prime position to replace Jon Busch in the goal. Bingham, 25, cautioned against being handed the job but added, “I plan to open up the stadium in the goal.”

Kinnear sounded optimistic.

“There’s a lot of pressure on David, and his preseason,” Kinnear said. “I’m happy for him. He is coming in motivated.”

Busch, who had been the starter for almost five years, joined the Chicago Fire and former Quakes coach Frank Yallop.

San Jose also no longer has Sam Cronin and Jason Hernandez, who like Busch, were unifying forces in the locker room. The team let the three veterans go during the offseason.

One of the biggest questions heading into the MLS opener March 7 at FC Dallas is whether the team has upgraded enough to keep pace. Kinnear said Monday he hopes to add up to two more players before the season begins.

It won’t be easy to break the playoff spell in the competitive Western Conference. Sporting Kansas City and the Houston Dynamo have joined the division because the Eastern Conference added expansion teams New York City FC and Orlando City FC.

“I’m not going to walk on the field and feel it’s 2005 again,” Kinnear said of his last season in San Jose when the Earthquakes won the Supporters’ Shield. “All those players are gone.”

Kinnear, who coached the Quakes in 2004-05 after three seasons as an assistant under Yallop, rejoined the team after Mark Watson was fired at the end of last season. Kinnear’s teams have reached the MLS Cup playoffs nine times in his 11 seasons, and he won two titles with the Dynamo.

Aware of how injuries undercut San Jose’s chances in 2014, Kinnear emphasized the importance of opening the season with a healthy group.

The team isn’t facing any serious injuries. But forwards Steven Lenhart (knee) and Mark Sherrod (tendinitis of the knee), midfielder Khari Stephenson (toe surgery) and defenders Jordan Stewart (calf pain) and Goodson (toe) are starting slowly.

Star Chris Wondolowski won’t join camp until after Feb. 8 when his duty with the U.S. national team ends. But Tommy Thompson returned this week after helping the under-20 team qualify for the age-group World Cup in May.
