US soccer association must hire experienced foreigner coache if want to beyond round of 16… not mpls trash…
We need to get least a coach that has at least won the Champions league
Nooo
I thought we wanted a serial winner?
Speculation
Paul Tenorio said a whole lot of nothing.
How does he keep getting jobs? He's such a horrible coach
I’m over this coaching search just give us GGG back at this point 😂
Please no!!! 👎👎
Lmao ill believe it when I see it
Blah blah blah. It’s all nonsense until they hire Cherundolo. No faith in USSF until the prove they can do better (with the men, they made a perfect hire for the women).
Did the panel member just talk about how impressive Pochettino's "CV" looks. "CV"?? Really? This is what soccer pundits do, announce their cache by using British terms? Not sure if he knows, but his audience is American and it's "resume" here. Tired of soccer heads posing by acting British. So stupid and so pretentious. Just because the sport is soccer doesn't mean you have to act as if you're European.
If we hire someone before the next window, and that person doesn’t lead the team in that window… needless waste of time. We only have so many opportunities between now and the World Cup.
He did well with PSG
Sorry USSF, you’ve already done this to us too many times. Hire someone worth getting excited over. Until then, I’m not getting my hopes up…again
An unnamed source has confirmed the USSF is considering Chester Lee as top candidate.
Coaches from Argentina suck, all of them.
Is this the same guy that started floating Southgate earlier
It’s not the coach😊it’s the players who think they are all that and a bag of chips😊 the results speak for themselves
He is not a candidate. It is hisnif he wants it. US has no say, up to him.
The Importance of official Tournaments for Coaches Success, especially at home.
– It looked like Berhalter treated Copa America like a training camp, because he did not shy from telling the US Media, the USMNT's failure at the Copa American in the United States of America was a good result. Not until the US FANs pressured the USSF then Berhalter started to back off from that claim.
– Normally a Coach would do everything before, to Win at an official Tournament especially one that is played at home. So in the case of Copa America that was the Test in 2024 for the USMNT Coach Berhalter. I have no idea if he understood that.
If you're trying as a USMNT to do very well at the World Cup in 2026 on American Soil, and that a big Tournament, the toughest in the world… then you ought as a USMNT Coach to jumps on the opportunity and do very well including trying to win Copa America on American Soil.
This is because Copa America is much much easier than the World Cup
This is simple way of looking at things in Soccer and a good Coach wouldn't need someone else to tell him that, which Berhalter seemed as though he needed to be convinced of that.
Sub-Standard is not a Standard for the USMNT.
The Standard is to want to win, exactly as we see US Athletes do today in Paris at the Olympics. USA Medal Count as of 8/8/24:
30 Gold – 38 Silver – 35 Bronze = Total 103 / 1st Place
And in Soccer, the US Women are playing on Saturday for the Gold
From were do the USMNT Players and Coaches get the idea that exiting Group Stage is a success or Training Camp?
Club Team vs National Team:
– There is more stress for a coach in a National Team during the tournament
– But less stress at Club Team before and after a tournament.
The fan base is the source of the stress.
At a Club you have a million or two Fan Base, and you can manage an OK relationship with them through the Media.
But at a National Team like the USMNT the FAN Base is in the 100s of millions, without success or without winning the majority of games you will be as a coach working the year around just on that relationship. And the Media will hound you with questions rightfully so.
Pochettino has Argentinian Experience (South American) and European experience as a Player and Coach in France England… He might be the right coach for the USMNT.
👍
You need to transition the USMNT from the Berhalter era into an international Soccer era, and this Argentinian Former Player/Coach could help the USMNT make that transition within the next 12 months.
In other words, the USSF the Players and the US FAN base will see another face of the USMNT and Soccer in general that they never saw before in the USMNT. That will allow you to get better results against stronger teams, and then you will judge.
This experience will be beneficial, and you will no longer base your success or level in Soccer at the USMNT level on the experience in the MLS.
You need a new Era with a coach like Pochettino.
The effect may be like that of Emma Hayes on the USWNT.
You have the right players, but not the right coach, this was the case with the USWNT previous coach, and we confirmed that with Emma Hayes at the Olympics even before the Final games. I is more likely than not there will be the same or similar effect on the USMNT, the players are good but Berhalter was over his head at the Copa America (against Panama for example)
I heard a current USMNT player who played against Panama in Copa America this week say, that the expected Panama to be their toughest game….. This is Bullsh!t and it proves that Berhalter was in over his head. Because it is the role of the coach to convince his players that any time can be beaten especially at home.
We may have a case in the USMNT that it is normal to fear Panama.
PANAMA?
They are better than they used to be, but they not better than the USMNT and with a better coach than Berhalter, they would have beaten soundly Panama in the US. No question about that
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Koop, Xavi, Henri, Viera, now Pochettino 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t be surprised when it turns out to be Cherundulo. The talk around this manager search is the same over hyped talk surrounding the first team.
At best a 2% chance. I highly doubt he’d be interested.
What about Renard?
It’s all smoke and mirrors to make it seem like the USSF are actually trying. We ain’t buying it. We aren’t as clueless as you think.
This is the one I wanted but I feel like this is just more smoke.
Give him the job right now
Waoooooo the waiting is finally here…christian pullistic already getting trained by zlatan, so, that means there's championship work in progress
How is this breaking news? Must be a slow day lol
Haha
US Won't fill their spot until England get theirs. Top candidates will be hoping for the England position first.
These guys report a new top target every day. I'm still waiting for Vieira to finish his advanced negotiations that were reported two weeks ago. 😂
Not teally breaking news until they are in advanced discussions. Meaning both sides are just hashing out financials.
Why y'all still having this man on TV?
He's not stupid. He won't do it. Just get a MLS coach. Enough, with the USA hype.
Nothing happens till England fill their spot.
And the hype cycle resets
I hope it doesn't take 13 months again to find a coach. That's ludicrous! At most, and this is me being generous, it should only take 2 months!
This isn't "breaking news"
It's not the coach 🙄…you guys just aren't as good as you think you are 😂
I’ll believe it when he’s holding up the Kit but until then it’s either gonna be a MLS manager or maybe Hugo Perez.
OMG NOOOOO
Breaking News!……….then proceed to ask questions 🤡🤡
Uhhhhh, did anyone get Pulisic’s input? Pretty sure he won’t be thrilled about it.
