After failing to strike a deal with two domestic contenders, D.C. United’s coaching search has pivoted to Europe and at least four candidates, including former Birmingham City manager Pep Clotet and Belgium-based Hernán Losada, people familiar with the matter said Thursday.
Losada, a 38-year-old Argentine who coaches first-division Beerschot, is probably atop United’s list, said one person, who, like the others contacted for this story, requested anonymity in order to speak freely about the matter.
The club has been without a long-term head coach since Ben Olsen’s firing in early October.
