Further information provided by the Italian journalist suggests that the potential deal for the Premier League “legend” to take over the US Soccer Federation is not at an advanced stage. While the idea of appointing a European great may bring positivity to the nation, it may not sit well with all fans, as foreign coaches with no American ties have been a rarity since 1995, with Jürgen Klinsmann being the exception.
In a recent development on July 17, 2024, the manager in question parted ways with RC Strasbourg, a sister club of Chelsea. This decision means there would be no compensation required, which is beneficial for a national team operating on limited finances.
Despite the potential challenges, the journalist believes that success is within reach for the United States team, especially given the presence of promising young talents like Giovanni Reyna, Folarin Balogun, and Haji Wright, who can provide threats in front of goal.
In addition, it has been reported that West Ham is set to enter the race for a highly-rated one-on-one defender, adding further intrigue to the already intense competition for top players in the transfer market.
