Bruce Arena is back in charge of the U.S. men's national team, replacing ousted manager Jurgen Klinsmann for his second term after guiding the Americans from 1998-2006.
Arena represents a relatively short-term fix for the U.S., with federation president Sunil Gulati confirming upon his re-introduction Tuesday that he's signed on through the 2018 World Cup. Whereas Klinsmann represented a long-term project and change of direction for the U.S., Arena figures to be more of a caretaker, a bandage over a wound and one who isn't likely to be guiding the team after his objective is met (or, gasp, missed).
