The fallout from U.S. Soccer’s decision to fire men’s national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann and reinstate Bruce Arena will be known in the coming days, weeks and months.
For Sporting Kansas City midfielder Benny Feilhaber, the effect could hit close to home.
After Feilhaber dropped out of favor with Klinsmann — despite producing what Feilhaber calls his best seasons as a professional — the national team coaching change could open the door for a new opportunity.
Well, an old one actually. Feilhaber, 31, made 41 appearances for the United States men’s national team from 2007-14. But he has not been called up since a January camp in 2014.
