Jurgen Klinsmann says he turned down several job opportunities ahead of the 2018 World Cup as he waits for a more high-profile role.
The German-born manager departed the U.S. national team in 2016 following a five-year stint and has been out of management since.
Klinsmann won the 2013 Gold Cup while in charge of the U.S. while leading the team to a Round of 16 spot in Brazil.
Klinsmann was replaced by Bruce Arena, whose U.S. team fell to Trinidad & Tobago on the final day of qualifying to miss the World Cup.
Having watched from afar, Klinsmann is willing to get back into coaching, but only if the right opportunity were to arise.
