“He’s [Juergen Klinsmann] an extraordinarily gifted coach. I think it would have been great situation if we could have made it happened. In the conversation yesterday, after we’d all concluded that this wasn’t going to happen, we had a terrific conversation about the future. Not about what might happen in four or five months, but about American soccer, what he might do in the future. We might work together in the future. What that means, I couldn’t tell you, and I don’t want anybody to expect he’ll take the team in 2008 or in May. That’s not what I’m saying at all.”
