U.S. Soccer has appointed Marko Mitrović as the next U.S. men’s youth national team under-23 coach, putting him in charge of the men’s soccer team that will compete at the Paris Olympics next summer.
Over the last year, the Serbian-born coach served as the U.S. men’s youth national team U-19 coach, leading the team to a 6-0-0 record, as well as an assistant to interim USMNT coaches Anthony Hudson and B.J. Callaghan during the senior team’s Concacaf Nations League title this summer.
“It’s been an honor working for U.S. Soccer and I’m tremendously proud of the opportunity to lead the USA at the Olympics,” Mitrović said in a statement.
