Club career

In 2003, Bonomo was signed from the Cape Cod Crusaders of the USL PDL League and made ten appearances for the team. ^{[8] [9]} Bonomo also played for Western Mass Pioneers in 2005. ^[10]

Style of coaching

Bonomo’s philosophy is built on a solid defensive foundation. ^[11] Bonomo values discipline, physical fitness and team spirit. His priority is building a team of players that not only understand the system but also react to one another seamlessly.

Bonomo is known for using a 4–2–1–3 or similiar setups (the 4-2-3-1 formation) with two holding midfielders, attacking full-backs, and one out-and-out striker backed by an attacking box-to-box midfielder. The full-backs play a crucial role in both defense and attack. The midfielders focus on transitioning quickly from defense to attack and functioning creatively as deep-lying playmakers. His team demonstrates an adaptable playing style, focusing on both solid defense and dynamic attacking play.

Bonomo's team uses direct possession approach, bypassing the midfield to the forward and using a low number of passes to a goal. Defensively, his team stays compact and capitalizes on opposition errors. His team seeks to exploit space through quick passing combinations, long balls in behind, and dynamic runs from the forwards and wingers, while also attempting ambitious passes to unlock defenses.
