The race to fill one of the most important positions in American soccer is under way, and one of the people being considered for the job is someone U.S. national team fans know very well.
Former U.S. captain and current Atlanta United vice president Carlos Bocanegra is under consideration for the newly-crafted position of general manager of the U.S. men's national team, sources have confirmed to Goal.
Newly-elected U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro and CEO Dan Flynn met on Wednesday to begin the process of identifying candidates for the newly-created position, and sources tell Goal that Bocanegra was one of the first people identified as a contender.
