USMNT feeling "pressure" over head coach hire amid Jesse Marsch links ahead of World Cup

US Soccer are yet to appoint a new long-term head coach for the USMNT, and are feeling "pressure" over their decision ahead of a huge three-year period for the nation.

The USMNT will feature in the 2024 Copa America and the 2026 World Cup, with both competitions being hosted in the United States. US Soccer has been preparing for this moment for a long time, and after fielding the youngest starting XI in the 2022 World Cup, their talent will be ready to blossom by the time 2026 rolls around.

Following his sacking from Leeds United, Jesse Marsch has been one of the many names rumoured to be in the running for the USMNT role, while World Cup winner Thierry Henry has also been linked. It's a decision that US Soccer can't afford to get wrong, and former Houston Dynamo president Chris Canetti is not surprised that they're feeling "pressure" at this time.
