Bruce Arena has been named manager of the United States men's national team for a second time, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced on Tuesday.
Arena replaces Jurgen Klinsmann, who was dismissed on Monday after five years in charge.
Arena previously managed the U.S. from 1998-2006, during which time he recorded a record of 71 wins, 30 losses and 29 draws, and led the Americans to the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup.
That tournament included a memorable 2-0 defeat of rivals Mexico in the round of 16 and marked the U.S. team's highest finish since reaching the semifinals of the inaugural World Cup in 1930.
