Jurgen Klinsmann has been fired as the manager of the United States, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced on Monday.
Klinsmann took charge of the U.S. men's squad in 2011 and led them into the knockout stage at the 2014 World Cup.
But disappointing results since then put his job in jeopardy, with defeats to Mexico and Costa Rica in World Cup qualifiers this month proving to be the last straw.
U.S. Soccer did not immediately name a replacement in thanking Klinsmann for his efforts in a statement, but sources told ESPN FC that negotiations are ongoing with LA Galaxy coach Bruce Arena to take over the job.
