Lots of choices but who will be the best fit for the job (besides me)? LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS!

  1. Love how you under sell experienced managers like Pocchetino and Tuchel but praise Cherundolo?!!! Sounds like the USSF mindset. Also if we must go American why are guys like Pellegrino Materazzo and David Wagner not discussed more they have done more than Berhalter and Cherundolo combined!

  2. 1)
    Club experience is NOT enough to rely on, in hiring the New USMNT Coach.
    – That Coach will need to have extensive National Teams Experience.
    – Should also have Titles in his Palmares.
    You need Evidence in the CV to rely on!

    2)
    The International Experience that the USMNT Coach MUST have is:
    – Knowing how Soccer is played in Europe or South America, but also Africa and Asia.
    – Either knowing extensively or should have Coached in more than one Continent

    Xavi has the experience of having coached in Asia and had success, and knows European Soccer as a Player and World Champion. But I'm not sure if he can't be easily defeated by a South American side or African National Team.

    Herve Renard is a good Candidate for the USMNT but I think he needs to convince you with results, had we had 3 years of more before the World Cup I would say he will succeed for sure.
    Two years or less, I would expect that Mr. Renard may find difficulties with some Players.
    He is known for being disciplinary with Players, He will reject your best player if he thinks there are discipline issues that affect the rest of the players, and he would even play a tournament without players that refuse to conform to his way of looking at thinks.
    But, Herve Renard once he figures out his players and the opponent, is a FOX.
    He is somewhat a genius (which is far better than any you hired before) in preparing for and winning tournaments. He has enough National Team Experience to be trusted, but he may need more experience for the Americas or other continents.

    Herve coached in Ligue 1 France and African National Teams, now coaching the French Women Team. He's a quality coach that needs still to prove it outside of Africa.

    An American Coach with plenty of experience and a strong determination to succeed in 2026, will be a better option in terms of understanding the American Player and understanding the American FAN. You have to Click with the US FANS quickly to benefit from their Support in the Stands. NOT Easy to do for Foreign Coaches.

  3. What NOONAN has done with FCC is nothing short of phenomenal. His first season he took them from bottom dweller to elite. The. He loses his two STs and continues dominance. He brings a lot out of a little too

  4. I tried to watch this. I needed to have a moment as my dignity was offended. Is this what these terrible youtube opinion pieces have become? Some guy yelling at his audience? You should be better than this. Too much content is just like this. Opinion. Opinion Opinion. No data. No facts. Nada.

  5. Thoughts on Pelligrino Matarazzo? He doesn’t seem to be talked about that much and he has gotten his teams to punch above their weight

  6. I know there is a limitation of quality international opponents for us to play against. Could our national team get some friendlies against some good club teams?

  7. I feel like you need stability, one world cup per manager is silly. (Right decision to sack him) BUT you need a manager to build something, that doesn't happen instantly!

  8. No Cherundolo! Pundits need to stop bringing him up. I almost believe that he will be the next Greg Berhalter 2.0. Disappointing!

  9. Right now you have Southgate and Luis de la Fuente in the Euro final. Both managed the youth sides for years before they were promoted to the senior position. Scaloni was managing the U21s before getting the senior job and winning the World Cup. Yet if anyone suggested we promote a manager from one of our youth sides, the fan base would completely melt down.

  10. Hey Jimmy! From what you said the team lacks (discipline, hunger and a bit of toughness) I believe Gallardo should be your man.

    Amongst the candidates you named (in the realistic bracket) he's been the most sucessfull in a tenure that has a national team stench to it. 8 years and a plethora of different players that all eventually praised him and fought for him. He's got a "big team" mentality, the one Renard may lack and he knows when to play ball and when to play the men, something the US absolutetly doesn't know how to do.

    He also doesn't marry any players and benches whoever deserves to be benched (He got canned from Saudi because he wanted to bench Benzema for his poor training).
    He'll bring some southamerican football passion to a the team plagued with "superstars sindrome" and he'll develope the ACTUAL superstars.

    I think it's a no brainer. The US tends to suffer it's own demise when the coach is also from the States because, even if the footballing culture is growing, you guys are babies mentality wise. Most of your players don't sleep, eat and breathe football like here in southamerica.

  11. Of all the recent US men’s teams coaching videos that I watched on YouTube this has to be the worst. I don’t really like this guy scattershot all over the place discourse. It’s redundant and hard to follow also shallow.

  12. I believe the coach should at least satisfy:
    -knockout competition experience
    -good experience with international soccer
    -good record against top opposition

    I personally like Joachim Löw, Hervé Renard, Xavi, Luis Felipe Scolari, Tuca Ferretti

  13. US Soccer lost its opportunity to hire Jose Mourinho. He could have got a lot, out of a little. Attempting to hire him would have shown that they take the 2026 World Cup, which is being hosted in America seriously. It is very clear the organization is concerned more about themselves than winning. US Soccer has failed America.

  14. Herve Renard has an impressive resume and has coached a variety of countries. Think USMNT poses another unique challenge for him and I would back him.

  15. Nancy is by far the best coach in MLS and a phenomenal prospect for European positions. I think he goes there next and not a national team
