EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The new coach of the United States men’s national team will speak English. He will agree to move to Chicago and work from U.S. Soccer’s headquarters. And his identity will still be a mystery next month, when the team passes the one-year anniversary of its failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
Those were among the few concrete details that emerged Thursday from a round-table with the national team’s new general manager, Earnie Stewart, who also said his choice of the coach would (most likely) be announced by the end of the year.
