Jurgen Klinsmann Fired as U.S. Soccer Coach

By SAM BORDENNOV. 21, 2016

Jurgen Klinsmann, a World Cup-winning striker who found mixed results after moving into coaching, was fired as head coach of the United States national men’s soccer team Monday, less than a week after a humiliating defeat in Costa Rica that damaged the American team’s chances of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.

U.S. Soccer did not announce a replacement for Klinsmann, but the former United States coach Bruce Arena is considered the leading candidate.

U.S. Soccer, the federation that oversees the sport in the United States and runs the national team programs, announced the change in a statement posted online. Klinsmann also was dismissed as U.S. Soccer’s technical director, a lower-profile — but significantly important — role that gave him broad responsibility to overhaul soccer development in the United States.
