Jurgen Klopp has declined U.S. Soccer Federation\u2019s approach regarding the men\u2019s national team head coaching vacancy, according to\u00a0David Ornstein.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Well, as swiftly as the excitement and hype built around the potential of Klopp taking over the reigns and leading the Stars and Stripes at the 2026 World Cup, the dream has died. Confirming an earlier report from today,\u00a0the USSF approached the former Liverpool manager\u00a0about the head coaching position. Klopp, to the dismay of USMNT fans, reaffirmed his commitment to taking a break from the sport, according to Ornstein.<\/p>\n
USA fired Gregg Berhalter after a dismal\u00a0Copa America 2024\u00a0campaign. The team unceremoniously failed to qualify for the knockout stage after losses to Panama and Uruguay. Its only win came against Bolivia, the lowest ranked team in this year\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n

Klopp was never really a possibility\u2026 was he?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Klopp said goodbye to Liverpool at the end of this past Premier League season after nine memorable, successful years at the club. Throughout his farewell tour, Klopp mentioned he would never coach another English club again out of respect for Liverpool. More importantly, he expressed the need for a break from the sport after how grueling the last few years have been competing against the juggernaut that is Manchester City and Pep Guardiola (and Mikel Arteta the past two years).<\/p>\n
Well, the first bit gave USMNT fans some hope. USA doesn\u2019t play in the Premier League! Don\u2019t have to worry about Pep in Concacaf or the 2026 World Cup\u2026 unless Guardiola feels like managing a national team in two years.<\/p>\n
The second bit? You had your break Jurgen, hope you\u2019re well-rested! Plus, it\u2019s not as strenuous as a grueling 38-game season. In the eyes of\u00a0USMNT\u00a0fans, everything works out perfectly let\u2019s get training underway and we\u2019ll see you for the September friendly against Canada.<\/p>\n
Except, it\u2019s not that simple and it was never that simple. Reading between the lines, this could\u2019ve just been due diligence. You have to at least\u00a0ask\u00a0<\/em>Klopp if he\u2019s interested. He\u2019s the best coach available, and for many still the best coach in the world. But, that\u2019s it. He said no. Though, Ornstein said the federation still remains interested in hiring him even after being told he wasn\u2019t interested.<\/p>\n
U.S. Soccer sporting director Matt Crocker stated that this new coaching search had a sense of urgency considering what\u2019s at stake in 2026. This generation of players does not have a signature international moment, and there\u2019s no better place to have one than on home soil hosting a World Cup.<\/p>\n
Klopp is now off the table, what\u2019s the next move?<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
