U.S. set to name interim national team coach this weekend - sources

The decision on who will manage the U.S. men's national team for next month's friendly against Portugal will be made some time this weekend, multiple sources have told ESPN FC.

U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati said on a conference call with reporters late last week that a decision on an interim manager would be made in "seven to 10 days," and it appears that Gulati intends to stick to that timeline.

Sources have confirmed to ESPN FC an SI.com report that U.S. youth technical director and under-20 manager Tab Ramos is reluctant to take over on an interim basis, and instead would prefer to be considered for the full-time job.
