Under mounting pressure from fans, U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati announced today that Jurgen Klinsmann has been relieved of his duties. Klinsmann was both head coach of the U.S. Men’s National Team and Technical Director for U.S. Soccer.
Statement from Gulati:
“We want to thank Jurgen for his hard work and commitment during these last five years. He took pride in having the responsibility of steering the program, and there were considerable achievements along the way.
Many are aware of the historic victories, including leading us out of the Group of Death to the Round of 16 in the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but there were also lesser publicized efforts behind the scenes.
