Former U.S. assistant coach Andi Herzog says Major League Soccer had no interest in listening to advice from Jurgen Klinsmann when he was in charge of the national team, saying league officials "thought he was just criticizing everything."
Klinsmann, who was fired last November after two World Cup qualifying defeats, endured a frosty relationship with the MLS leadership during his five years as United States coach.
He said in 2014 that U.S. players like Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley would have to prove their form hadn't dropped after leaving Europe to return to North America.
