Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira was one of the names in the mix for the vacant United States National Team head coach role, but is set to miss out.
Vieira had been out of work since being sacked by Crystal Palace in March after a torrid run of just one win from 12 outings. The 1998 world champion was said to be looking to bounce back from this disappointing end to his spell with the South London club by taking over the reigns from interim US coach B.J. Callaghan.
With the World Cup taking place stateside in 2026 in a landmark tournament which will stretch across three different countries, the opportunity to lead the nation into the showpiece competition was attractive to the former midfielder, according to ESPN. However, it has now been reported elsewhere that Gregg Berhalter will instead return to the job.
