U.S. Soccer isn't ready to appoint Bruce Arena's long-term successor as it begins the process of rebuilding after the U.S. national team's recent World Cup qualifying disaster, but it has chosen the man to keep things going in the short term.
Dave Sarachan, Bruce Arena's lead assistant coach, has been chosen to serve as caretaker head coach, with the rest of the national team coaching staff remaining intact for the November 14 friendly against Portugal.
Bruce Arena resigned as U.S. coach shortly after the U.S. suffered a catastrophic loss to Trinidad & Tobago that elminated the Americans from World Cup qualifying.
