Tata for the USA? Michallik sees Martino as ideal USMNT coaching candidate

With the USA looking for a new head coach, the former U.S. international feels the Atlanta manager should be in the mix

Former United States international Janusz Michallik believes Gerardo Martino, who has coached at the highest level with Barcelona and Argentina, should be considered to replace Bruce Arena after the country's failure to qualify for the World Cup.

The U.S. national team is looking for a new coach in the wake of Arena's resignation on Friday, having failed to lead the Americans to the World Cup for the first time since 1986.

A number of MLS-based coaches have been linked to the vacant national team post, though New York City boss Patrick Vieira ruled himself out of the running.
