RALEIGH, N.C. — The U.S. Soccer Federation has extended Dave Sarachan’s contract as men’s national team interim coach through the end of June, almost assuring no permanent hire until after the pro leagues and World Cup are completed.
Sarachan, the former top assistant, has been in charge since Bruce Arena resigned last fall in the wake of the Americans’ failure to qualify for the World Cup in Russia.
Sarachan said Monday that he agreed to a new deal about a month ago. His previous pact would have expired at the end of this month. A USSF spokesman confirmed the updated arrangement.
