Fans gonna get hyped for Klopp then the ussf will hire Cherundolo in a couple weeks 😂😂😂😂

[@alex1vid]

WTF are you smoking? Everyone knows it'll be Peter Vermes!

[@patrick-po2lx]

Cherundolo would be crazy to take this job now.

[@dirks6550]

Klopp is already out now, but at least the USSF inquired. So that makes me hope that the USSF is looking for a higher quality coach. So I hope it is not Cherundolo.

[@matthewstandefer2771]

Herv Reynard, has had success at the National Team level in Africa and w Saudis. He's a very good national team coach and he looks like a Bond villian.

I don't think the USMNT job is as attractive as these guys think it is...

[@SortOfEggish]

Who would want this job with fans like these?

[@tedbeale4738]

exactly

[@ashadows666]

Believe it or not European fans are faaaaar worse. Fans caring just means the sport is growing. The job is more attractive than it's ever been. You get a home WC with auto qualification, a young team full of Euro based talent, and a long leash from US soccer with somewhat low expectations. If you think USMNT fans are bad you haven't been following soccer very long

[@jackcolchester8565]

@@SortOfEggish what have fans been saying other than "Get rid of Gregg"? I don't think there is a problem with fans but these pundits seem to think the position as USMNT manager is attractive to the elite. Jessie Marsch would have been the best/most experienced choice they could have got, but that ship has sailed for now so will probably have to look to MLS again

The coaches mentioned, apart from Ralf Ragnick, are pipe dreams. A coach needs a meaningful challenge, but these other coaches gain little from a stint as a USMNT coach. Ragnick is the exception. Realistically we should expect, at best, a solid Euro coach who can make a statement about their abilities by bringing the team to an impressive level.

[@1972dsrai]

Southgate is now free and the US should go for him. He’s a pragmatic coach who’s style might not be pretty to watch, but might suit the US better than England considering its not packed with quality. He’ll make them a lot tougher to break down and play counter attacking football which will suit young athletic players who aren’t the most gifted on the ball.

[@-jamie-9896]

The question needs to be, do they want strictly a manager for the team or do they want someone like Klinsmann who came in and shook the whole organization up?

Problem is, the USMNT doesn’t have any meaningful games before the next WC. They can play all the friendlies they want, but they mean nothing. Hard to judge a teams world standing based on that. Top football managers want to be where the best competition is and that’s not in the US right now.

Throwing money at a coach won't change the fact that the team is not that good. Americans think you can just buy everything. This is not nba or mlb.

No one thinks the US will win a World Cup. But we do expect a team that can compete with top teams. Manager is a good part of putting players in positions to succeed, and use their strengths. Berhalter did none of that.

[@biglebowski3961]

@tomtalley2192 Futbol is about tradition, development, and having talent on the field. Will some top coaches find this challenge worth their time. Canada is the team that came out of concacaf.
