Sizing up the top candidates for the USMNT head coach position

Mexico's Juan Carlos Osorio saw his World Cup end, which should signal the unofficial start of the USA's search for its new coach

The 2018 World Cup is far from over, but as the tournament heads to the quarterfinals it has seen the departure of the coaches most likely to be candidates for the vacant U.S. national team coaching position.

Mexico's loss to Brazil , coupled with Iran's elimination in the group stage, has now paved the way for U.S. Soccer to start lining up the process to select its next head coach. Juan Carlos Osorio's future with Mexico remains a mystery, though it has appeared for some time that he would pursue other opportunities once the World Cup ended.
