USMNT - ‘23 and beyond (1 Viewer)

I think it has to be 6 years to be attractive to larger names (and honestly what could one possibly do in just under 24 mo as you pointed to at the end above). If USSF is insistent on just thru 2026, then it almost guarantees an "in house" hire like Ramos or Cherundelo etc more as a caretaker vs manager.

I agree, but devils advocate..... 2 things 1) USSF wont want to enter into a 6 year contract with a larger name and his salary x 6. Theyd love the opportunity to boost the brand for 2 years, then turn the reigns over to MLS. And 2) it might be more attractive to a larger name to come in for 18 months, get a taste of coaching a host team in the WC and return to club football...or retirement.

So De La Fuente- supposedly said he "interested" to use as leverage for new deal w/ Spanish Federation.

The next rumor is Rafa Benitez has stated his interest,

Can’t imagine ussf offering anybody 6 and I can’t see most managers worth their salt wanting 6
High profile guys will want 2 and ussf would want 4, so they can make a change for 2030 if necessary

So just read according to Michele Giannone, the 3 targeted HCs are/were Cherundelo, Wilferd Nancy and Patrick Viera.

Vieira leaving Strasbourg on 'mutual terms' probably means he is the guy. Given those 3, Id take Vieira. He has won a WC, knows what it takes. He is also never anywhere for very long. If he is leaving Strasbourg for this (and wasnt about to be sacked anyway) Im guessing USSF is going to have to pony up a 6 year deal. And Vieira doesnt do well on long stretches. Theyve had to pay off Berhlater, and you give a 6 year deal to anyone, you are likely with that person through 2030.

Its not something Im going to celebrate, but its better than Berhalter and could be much worse. Theres going to be no more inmates running the asylum with him though, so we can raise a glass to that.

Looks like it's going to be Vieira as reports are the ans USSF are in negotiations

And now German paper BILD has reported that Hoffenheim HC, Pellegrino Matarazzo has apparently informed them that he wants to leave to take USMNT job.

Don't know a whole lot about him. Which might be good?

Saw that posted but only one source so I pumped the brakes
Also don’t know much about him, but it’s a perfectly cromulent soccer name, so

U20. What a tough loss. Up 1-0 with 5 min injury time. Ref let it go to over 6 min and Mex equalized on most probably last kick of game. Lost in ET of a beauty of a header ALSO in stoppage time of ET.
