for the play-offs in 2007, although Yallop has been defended for his part in that, with forward Alan Gordon, who played on the 2007 Galaxy team, stating "it had nothing to do with Frank. We had 11 guys come in and out of there in a couple months. We had no team chemistry. We had a bunch of individuals who were trying to hang on and make the best of it." On 4 November 2007 it was revealed that Yallop was being bought out of his contract with the Galaxy to become the head coach of the San Jose Earthquakes once again for the 2008 season, with Dutchman Ruud Gullit taking his place. The Galaxy received the Earthquakes' third-round pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft as compensation for Yallop's departure. Return to San Jose Earthquakes (2008–2013) Yallop led the new-era Earthquakes for five-and-a-half seasons before parting ways with the club on 7 June 2013. He compiled a 62–6–51 record and led the club to two postseason appearances (2010, 2012) and the 2012 Supporters' Shield.

Chicago would finish second to last in the Eastern Conference in his first season in charge. The following season saw the team perform even worse, and the poor form would see Yallop was fired on 20 September 2015, with five matches left in the season.

Arizona United SC and Phoenix Rising FC (2016–2017) Yallop was signed to a three-year contract as head coach and president of soccer operations of Arizona United SC on 23 December 2015. This was his first time managing a club in the USL. The team was renamed Phoenix Rising FC on 28 November 2016.

Yallop would stay on to consult in the club's search for a replacement head coach. Frank's assistant Rick Schantz took over as interim manager before the eventual hiring of Patrice
