Bruce Arena overjoyed with USMNT return: "We're going to make it better"

Bruce Arena, the most decorated coach in U.S. Soccer history is returning to the helm of U.S. National Team in hopes of leading the USMNT to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati announced on Tuesday that Arena will take over the USMNT coaching duties from Jurgen Klinsmann, who was dismissed by the federation a day earlier. The former LA Galaxy head coach and general manager assumes the position with the U.S. squad in peril after starting the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying with a pair of losses to Mexico and Costa Rica.
