Bruce Arena has resigned as manager of the US national team, he announced on Friday.
Arena and the USMNT failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup for after losing 2-1 at Trinidad & Tobago on Tuesday, the first time the US will have missed the tournament since 1986.
Arena took over for his second stint in charge of the US last November after Jurgen Klinsmann was fired following a 2-1 home loss to Mexico and a 4-0 defeat at Costa Rica to open the CONCACAF Hexagonal. He led the US to a 10-2-6 record and the CONCACAF Gold Cup title in 2017, but his last year in charge of the national team will be almost entirely remembered for his failure to qualify for the World Cup.
