U.S. Soccer's search for a general manager to oversee the men's national team is underway and while Carlos Bocanegra will be involved with the process, he will not be the man to fill the newly-created role.
Bocanegra has pulled his name from consideration for the position, and will instead serve as a consultant to U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro and CEO Dan Flynn as they work to fill the role, sources confirmed to Goal on Thursday.
Bocanegra emerged as a candidate for the role on Wednesday, after Cordeiro and Flynn began the process of identifying candidates for the position.
