“Someone who is successful at a high level coaching, someone who has been a player is a plus but not a prerequisite, and someone that knows something about the American game. If we don’t have a national team coach who is very familiar with the American setup, then we will have an assistant coach who is.” — U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati, at the annual Honda Symposium on Monday, on what he’s looking for in a replacement for Bruce Arena, who was fired as U.S. boss after the last summer’s World Cup. Gulati also said there are four or five serious candidates, that the Federation plans to make an announcement within two months, and that the USA will receive an invitation to play in the 2007 Copa America.
