Career

Prior to signing with the MetroStars, Guevara played all over the world: in Honduras with Motagua, Spain with Real Valladolid, Mexico with Toros Neza and Zacatepec, and Costa Rica with Saprissa. He was signed by the MetroStars on April 11, 2003.

Guevara immediately stepped into the MetroStars team and produced. Although he finished the season with only three goals and ten assists (he added another goal in the playoffs), he became the focal point of the team; they were successful when the offense flowed through him.

In early 2006, a conflict arose between Guevara and the MetroStars. The club allowed him to train with Motagua, but Amado played for the Honduran club in a number of friendly matches, which might or might not have been permitted. Guevara lashed out in the Honduran press at the Metros' GM Alexi Lalas. But the two patched things up and Guevara remained in New York for the 2006 season. He received his green card in March 2006 and no longer counts as a foreign player in MLS. During the last game of the re-branded Red Bull New York season, Guevara scored three goals, a hat trick, to help them win 3-2 and reach the playoffs. Panayotis Alexander (Alexi) Lalas (b. ...

Following the 2006 season, Guevara was traded to Chivas USA in exchange for a designated player slot. After playing just four games for the club, Chivas USA coach Preki told MLSnet.com that "I have a vision of where the club is going and [Guevara's] not part of it." This comment came following consistently poor performance on the field and an incident in which Guevara was sent off for pushing an assistant referee. Attempts to deal the midfielder to Toronto FC, Colorado Rapids, FC Dallas, and Columbus Crew were all shot down by Guevara, and sources have reported that he will be sold to a club in his native Honduras.^[1] The 11th Major League Soccer season began on April 1, 2006 and will end with MLS Cup 2006 on November 12, 2006 at the same site: Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas. ...
