The United States Soccer Federation fired Jurgen Klinsmann Monday from his position as the head coach of the United States Men’s National Team in the wake of a humiliating 4-0 loss at Costa Rica last Tuesday in San Jose, and named Bruce Arena as its new manager yesterday until the end of the 2018 World Cup.
For Klinsmann, the writing had been on the wall for some time. It was unacceptable to lose the first two matches in the Hex, an unprecedented run in the history of US Soccer.
Klinsmann took over in July of 2011, and had some notable highs with the team.
