Popovic and his New York Arrows were the most dominant team in MISL history. They won the first four championships compiling a 114-26 record. Much of the success of the San Diego Sockers derived from the core group that originated in New York. Popovic would coach five MISL teams and never replicated what his Arrows did, but found success in Golden Bay, Las Vegas and St. Louis, sometimes reuniting with such players as Steve Zungul, Juli Veee, Fernando Clavijo, and Zoltan Toth. Popovic finished with a career record of 275-167.
