First, former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp said no. However, the US soccer team is not disappointed. They”re quickly working on a plan B.
Mauricio Pochettino, Frank Lampard, and Zinedine Zidane are among the favorites. There’s also the unlikely possibility of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
The American sports publications The Athletic and ESPN reported on Wednesday that the U.S. national team is considering Jürgen Klopp as its next manager. We reached out to him, but unfortunately, he declined.
The US national team is in a state of emergency. ‘Copa America disaster’. The United States, the best team in North and Central America, was in Group C in the Copa America group stage, but was eliminated.
They lost to Uruguay, a powerhouse, and were beaten by Panama, a team they had underestimated. They managed to hold off the underdog Bolivia, but finished 1-2-2 and third in Group C. They were out of the tournament.
The US immediately fired head coach Greg Berholter. They are looking for a strong coach to take charge of the North and Central American World Cup.
Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola were among the favorites. The U.S. has already financed about $5 billion to host the World Cup and wants to bring in a world-class coach.
However, Klopp has refused. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is a much less likely candidate.
The Reds are quickly implementing Plan B.
They have no choice. The U.S. team needs the hype for the North American World Cup. And the U.S. has enough power to make a splash.
As the BBC notes, “The United States has raised $5 billion in short-term funding for the World Cup, and one of the keys to its success is the competitiveness of its own team. 온라인카지노사이트 The US is likely to bring some world-class talent to the tournament,” while CBS and ESPN both wrote in their coverage of the Copa America: “Hosting the World Cup is remarkable in itself. However, to be successful, the U.S. team needs to be hyped. There’s a clear example. Americans’ interest in the Copa America ended prematurely when they were eliminated in the qualifying rounds on home soil. The success of the World Cup depends a lot on the performance of the US national team. Obviously, Team USA needs to do better than this.
The consensus is that in order for the North American World Cup to be a success, the national team needs to be strong and competitive, and at this point, they need to bring in a world-class coach.
The coach’s salary isn’t the only issue.
According to the BBC, “Burholter’s salary is around $1.6 million ($2.2 million), which is a far cry from world leaders. However, U.S. soccer has the money and the determination to spend that much if it wants to bring in a world-class coach.
This is a far cry from South Korean soccer, which turned around and chose Hong Myung-bo to lead the national team.
Klopp rejected the US national team. Plan B is in play.
CBS Sports reported, “Klopp turned down the job. However, there is another candidate. Former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, and French legend Zinedine Zidane,” and “U.S. Soccer will continue to reach out. Add to that Max Allegri, former Juventus manager, and Thomas Tuchel, former Bayern Munich manager, and you’ve got a good mix.
