A World Cup Winner and Premier League legend has emerged as a
candidate for the vacant USMNT coaching position,
Azernews reports citing Daily Mail.
After a shameful exit from the Copa America tournament, US
Soccer answered a cry from the masses by dismissing Gregg Berhalter
from coaching duties. Their embarrassing run saw the Americans
dumped out of the group stage behind losses to Panama and
Uruguay.
With their ambitious search for a high profile coach to take the
reigns from Berhalter in full swing, Fabrizio Romano revealed that
Thierry Henry's name has been thrown in the hat as a potential
candidate.
“One more name the USMNT has discussed is Thierry Henry,” Romano
wrote on July 19.“Thierry Henry is now busy with the Olympics with
the French national team, but after that, keep an eye on Thierry
Henry because he's another name they discussed internally.”
Besides the Arsenal legend, Romano also noted how Patrick
Vieira's name has also been discussed in the same breath as the
vacancy. Vieira mutually parted ways with French side Strasbourg on
July 18.
Henry reportedly showed interest in the US position before
Berhalter was brought back for his second tenure after the 2022
FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
