The future of the United States men’s national team is now a center of attention after the team failed to escape the group stage of Copa América, which led to the dismissal of head coach Gregg Berhalter. A massive search led by U.S. Soccer Federation sporting director Matt Crocker is now underway, with a current focus on coaches with European soccer experience, per FOX Sports USMNT insider Doug McIntyre.
But FOX Sports Soccer Analyst Alexi Lalas, who supported Berhalter’s ouster, said on social media Tuesday that he would “absolutely” throw his hat in the ring if ever asked by the USSF. “I would do it for free,” Lalas said in response to a question about his interest in the job if he was ever approached.
“If the United States soccer federation came to me and asked me to coach this team, I would do it in a second out of a sense of responsibility and, yeah, out of a sense of confidence, maybe even bordering on arrogance in terms of what I feel that we could do with this group … hell yeah, they should be so lucky to have someone like me leading this team,” Lalas said.
