Matt Crocker’s first task as the U.S. Soccer Federation’s sporting director figured to be hiring a long-term head coach for the men’s national team. Instead, he has needed to replace the interim coach with another interim.
On Tuesday, Crocker announced assistant B.J. Callaghan will succeed Anthony Hudson, who is leaving the program to accept an offer from an unspecified club abroad. Callaghan will guide the U.S. team at two Concacaf tournaments this summer: the Nations League finals June 15-18 and Gold Cup June 24-July 16.
The move does not impact Crocker’s plans to hire a permanent coach by the end of the summer.
