Massoud Roushandel, President of Global Elite Sports Group - a U.S.-Spanish management firm - confirmed to the Post that he and Vicente Montes, De La fuente's advisor, contacted Matt Crocker of U.S. Soccer over the matter. U.S. Soccer did not respond to the report for comment.Other candidates linked with the role include ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jurgen-klopp-rejects-u-s-soccer-usmnt-head-coach/blt26892c834a432226" target="_self">"politely" turned down an approach</a>, with other options such as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/lafc-steve-cherundolo-usmnt-gregg-berhalter/bltd46a7484f0ce44fc" target="_self">LAFC's Steve Cherundolo</a>, Strasbourg's Patrick Vieira and ex-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

De La Fuente recently became the first manager to win the U-19 EUROs, U-21 EUROs, the Nations League and now the senior team EUROs. All of which were with Spain.

The USMNT have a pair of September friendlies against Jesse Marsch's Canada and New Zealand on the horizon. The goal for the U.S. is to have a new manager in place by the time those matches arrive.
