It’s been two months since the World Cup ended, and U.S. Soccer is still looking for a replacement for Bruce Arena. According to the New York Times, U.S. Soccer officials have spoken with former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson, who drove his team to three quarterfinal finishes in his six years in charge, at the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, the 2004 European Championships in Portugal and the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The Swede was paid $5 million per year by the English Football Association, a figure the Times says is probably beyond U.S. Soccer. Yesterday, Eriksson expressed his desire to return to club soccer in Italy, possibly with former club Sampdoria or perhaps as an advisor to Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan. American officials have spoken with a number of international coaches about the vacancy, including former Germany coach Juergen Klinsmann, who brought the hosts to the semifinals and is reportedly seeking a contract worth $2 million per year. Former Argentina coach Jose Pekerman was also interviewed, according to ESPN.com. Arena was paid a base salary of $600 K and earned bonuses.
