After firing manager Gregg Berhalter on Wednesday, the United States men's national team reportedly "identified" former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp as a "top target" in its coaching search, according to Miguel Delaney of The Independent.
Delaney added that "initial contact" was made with Klopp, though The Athletic's David Ornstein later reported Klopp "has rebuffed the approach to become USA head coach."
"Initial contact was made with Klopp regarding the possibility of leading the USMNT, but he reiterated that he would like a break from football," Ornstein wrote.
