- USA currently bottom of qualifying group for 2018 World Cup
Bruce Arena has been confirmed as the new coach of the USA, replacing Jürgen Klinsmann who was fired on Monday.
“When we considered the possible candidates to take over the Men’s National Team at this time, Bruce was at the top of the list,” said the head of US Soccer, Sunil Gulati, in a statement. “His experience at the international level, understanding of the requirements needed to lead a team through World Cup qualifying, and proven ability to build a successful team were all aspects we felt were vital for the next coach. We all know Bruce will be fully committed to preparing the players for the next eight qualifying games and earning a berth to an eighth-straight Fifa World Cup in Russia.”
