Jurgen Klinsmann has been fired as the manager of the United States, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced on Monday.
Klinsmann took over the U.S. men's squad in 2011 and led them into the knockout stage at the 2014 World Cup.
But disappointing results since then put his job in jeopardy, with defeats to Mexico and Costa Rica in World Cup qualifiers this month proving to be the last straw.
"Today we made the difficult decision of parting ways with Jurgen Klinsmann, our head coach of the U.S. Men's National Team and Technical Director," a U.S. Soccer statement said.
