Fuck it, I say they should see if Cowher is interested.

I mean, it would have been silly not to at least ask. Since he is stepping away from Liverpool to take a break from the stress of managing, I could see a world where a cush international job with no qualifying schedule and basically nothing but upside could be attractive for the next 2 years.

...or at least that's what I told myself when I was dreaming. I still think there are dozens of realistic candidates that are an upgrade over GGG.

Its silly when Klopp has said he would only take over Germany and that would be years from now.

I didn't realize Renard's contract with the French women's team ends in August. Would be a coup. He beat the World Cup winning Argentina team with Saudi Arabia and won AFCON with Zambia. Nigeria is offering him 2 million euros.

"SPAIN COACH LUIS DE LA FUENTE REPORTEDLY INTERESTED IN USMNT

Spain coach Luis De La Fuente, who just led his team to a dominant showing in Euro 2024 that culminated in a title, is interested in coaching the United States men's national team, according to the Washington Post."

I would hope so that Spanish team is stacked and young, they will be a serious favorite in 2026.

However, the US job would be easy. The press is not the same, the expectations would not be that hard to accomplish with the talent thats at his disposal. He could live in the US and be anonymous. His salary demands would probably make him unobtainable to the USMNT though.

The De La Fuente rumor seems to be a pretty transparent ploy by his camp to negotiate a better contract with Spain.

Patrick Vieria high in running?

That would be a dumber decision than hiring Cherundolo. Viera has not been the best coach. His most successful stint though was in MLS, but still didn't win anything.

We might have the last laugh in the feud with Jesse Marsch.

Quote :
"According to Blue, who only joined the federation in February, there was at least one more incident during the Canadian men’s team’s recent Cinderella run to the semi-finals of the Copa America.

“As it relates to the current situation on the men’s team, I’m aware of an instance of attempted drone usage during Copa America,” Blue said. “My current understanding is that the fact pattern of that instance is significantly different than what occurred here, especially as it relates to the potential impact on competitive integrity. But we’re doing a review to specifically obtain a full understanding of these situations and what others may exist.”

He would not describe in detail what happened, but did say that Canada’s new men’s coach, Jesse Marsch, knew about it.

“[Marsch] was aware of it after the fact, at a minimum,” Blue said.

“The more I learn about this specific matter, the more concerned I get about a potential long-term and deeply embedded systemic culture of this type of thing occurring, which is obviously completely unacceptable,” Blue added."

I forgot that Poch was between jobs. Decent hire, I guess. Not many managers could lead Spurs to a Champions League final.

Bit of an upgrade, that. Let's see if it translates to national team success

"A separate source told ESPN that Pochettino's situation with Chelsea remains unresolved. He is owed money by the Premier League club and until a resolution is found he cannot sign a contract to take over the USMNT.

Pochettino is expected to be installed in time to take charge of the USMNT game against Canada in Kansas City, Kansas, on Sept. 7."


Hopefully he'll hammer out a solution with Chelsea in time to humble Jesse Marsch.

A perfectly acceptable hire IMO. Shows there may be some actual fucking ambition for improvement and success going forward.

I can't figure out what's up with Tillman. He plays well for PSV, but he is a complete ghost in a USMNT jersey every time. Honestly, we started playing like crap as soon as Johnny went out.

Weston at the 10 was interesting. When he is in shape, he is probably top 3 player on the team.

I'm probably the only one here who watched last night, but man, it's so refreshing to have a manager who has different tactical setups depending on what the other team gives us. It turns out that our players CAN find offensive opportunities without just playing it wide and crossing it in to noone.
