Jamaica. He had two assists in the 5–0 victory. In his first regular season home game back with D.C. United on April 5, 2008, Quaranta picked up a goal and an assist. Following the 2011 season, Quaranta's option was not picked up by United, and he opted to retire. It was a very brief retirement as he quickly joined the new Premier League Soccer in India. He has claimed this is due to his salary being more than double his last MLS remuneration. However, a month later, the league was cancelled before the season began. International Quaranta has played internationally for the Under-17 and Under-20 United States national soccer teams, but while he was dominant for the U-17's, he was not able to secure a starting place on the U-20's (although he did play in the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship). After coming back from injuries in 2005, Quaranta received his first cap for the senior team July 7, 2005 in a Gold Cup match against Cuba. He converted a penalty kick in the United States' shootout victory over Panama in the Gold Cup championship game. In 2009, Quaranta was named to the United States roster for that year's edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. On July 8, 2009, he scored his first international goal against Honduras during a 2–0 victory in CONCACAF Gold Cup group play. Coaching On February 19, 2014, Quaranta took over from Steve Nichols as the head coach of the Baltimore Bohemians of the US Premier Development League. The club has been on hiatus since January 2017.
