Jurgen Klinsmann has said he will only return to international management to take over a country capable of reaching the World Cup semifinals.
Klinsmann has been out of work since he was sacked as United States coach during their doomed World Cup qualifying campaign. He had been under contract through the 2018 World Cup, but the U.S. lost 2-1 to Mexico and then 4-0 away to Costa Rica in November 2016. The results left the U.S. at the bottom of the six-team regional CONCACAF group with eight games to play and Klinsmann was subsequently axed.
The 54-year-old watched the World Cup in Russia as the United States missed out on the tournament and has said he will not rush into returning to international management.
