As the United States men’s national soccer team continues its search for a permanent head coach, one candidate has apparently made it clear he’s interested in being considered for the position: former Arsenal legend and Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira.
Vieira has already had contact with the U.S. Soccer Federation, according to ESPN’s Julien Laurens, but so far talks have been preliminary.
The team is in need of a permanent manager after Gregg Berhalter’s contract expired following the 2022 World Cup and was not renewed. Since then, the team has had a pair of interim head coaches: Anthony Hudson and B.J. Callaghan.
