There’s been no shortage of headlines for the United States men’s national soccer team since its World Cup run ended with a defeat to the Netherlands. And a week of turnover in the federation’s front office ended winless on the pitch in the team’s first two matches since Qatar.

The draw, three days after a loss to Serbia, is a backdrop for the uncertainty that surrounds the future of the USMNT, specifically in its leadership.
