Despite former PSG and France manager Laurent Blanc claiming that he has turned down an offer to fill the open U.S. men’s national team manager vacancy, U.S. Soccer says no formal talks have been held with any candidate.
“I was asked, but for a national team, it’s a no,” Blanc said to Le Parisien . “It’s especially difficult if you’re not from that country. A national team must make the national fibers shake. So, I declined it.”
The USSF responded to the claims on Monday saying that it hasn’t proceeded to any discussions in its search for a manager yet.
