The USMNT are close to appointing Jesse Marsch as their new head coach soon. The former Leeds United manager has been out of a job since being sacked in February, and is finally expected to return to the bench.
The national team is gearing up for the Nations League Final Four with a big game against Mexico coming up. They will also have the 2026 World Cup to worry about down the line, and will be hopeful of having him in charge till then.
Jesse Marsch close to becoming the new head coach of the USMNT
Reports suggest that the new head coach will start his work after the Gold Cup. Marsch is one of the most successful American coaches in football, having managed RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga as well as Leeds in the Premier League.
A formal contract has not been agreed with Jesse Marsch as of yet. But, the negotiations are close to being completed. He will be replacing Anthony Hudson, and is expected to sign a contract until the 2026 World Cup, which will be played in the United States and Mexico.
Fan reaction to his appointment has been mixed, but given his experience in the top leagues in Europe, we can expect a change in the fortunes of the USMNT considering the kind of young talent that is coming up.
