Jurgen Klinsmann was fired as head coach of the United States national men’s soccer team Monday, less than a week after a humiliating defeat in Costa Rica that damaged the American team’s chances of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.
Former national team coach Bruce Arena is expected to be named as Klinsmann's replacement on Tuesday, Klinsmann leaves the USMNT with some solid accolades: a 2013 Gold Cup win, a table-topping performance in the Hex, a trip to the World Cup knockout stage, and a Copa America semifinal.
