Christian Pulisic has admitted he was sad to see Jurgen Klinsmann fired as U.S. national team coach, but he's also looking forward to playing with new manager Bruce Arena.
In an exclusive interview, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder told ESPN FC's Raphael Honigstein that he owed Klinsmann, who parted ways with U.S. Soccer in November, for giving him the chance to show he was ready for the senior team.
"I was sad to see Jurgen leave," Pulisic said. "He was very important, he always trusted me, gave me the opportunities to go out on the field and show what I can do.
